My bonus is a profit sharing that goes right into my retirement account.
I won't see it for another 30 years or so.
But when I do, it should be significantly bigger.

haha. I worked for a chicken company for 3 months once and I got a turkey for Christmas also. Pretty cool though. We deep fried that fucker on New Years Day and watched football all day. Ate on it twice.


I have increased my work load by just under half this year. If my bonus/raise doesn't reflect this this year I'm out the door asap.

I don't find out until next week.

No bonus, but we get a 53rd check that we can take at any time throughout the year. Most folks take it in January to pay off DAT Xmas plastic.

You don't have to lie, and you certainly don't have to do it twice.

My bonus is getting to file TEH UNGENPLOGMENT

We always get awesome bonuses here. My salary is mediocre but it's nice when you can count on a nice bonus at the end of the year.

We get quarterly bonuses, but payroll shit the bed and didn't get this quarter's out on the last payday before Chrimuh, so we get it at the end of the month, instead.

Yeah, dates booked at work but no hotel booked. I'm thinking of hiring a car for a week and just crashing in that.

I didn't get anything near what you guys got for bonus cash, but I did get a decent Gift Card, which is pretty good where I work. After eating it on some concerts as of late, I thought we might get shafted again. Lucky for me we had a good spring for concerts and generated some good dough for the year.

My boss gave me a $50 Gift Card to Home Depot which means two cans of paint for my living / dining room. And one of the sales reps gave me a $25 Gift Card to JC Penney (I don't think I've shopped in that store in over 15 years...but I thought it was very nice of him).

And still no cookies.

They're giving us a "holiday lunch" tomorrow. Natch, it'll be kosher, ie cold cuts or kosher pizza which sucks big time. *sigh*

I got a Dilbert calendar and a $10 gift card to a restaurant I'll probably never go to because it's far from work and my bus route doesn't make it out there.

The real honest-to-goodness bonus was my boss telling me that I can work as much (paid) voluntary overtime as I want.
