    No bonus really, maybe a quick handy, if I'm lucky.

    Bonus? Raise? COL increase? What are these terms???

    Bonus? A CRAP bottle of wine.
    Raise? Haven't seen one in 5 years.
    COL? You have to be ****in' me!

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! :cheers:

    I work for the great state of Texas

    Getting to live and work in Texas is a gift! (Houston, here).

    I work for a small law firm. Our Christmas bonus was cut about two years ago and then they gave us our regular bonus last year and I am really hoping to get my regular bonus this year as well. I know we are not supposed to take it for granted that we will get one, but after so many years, you do.

    They also give us a Christmas party and we don't work at all that day and right after the party they let us go home. So I am very lucky.

    Just started this year in April. So we'll see. But so far no Xmas party scheduled as of yet. So I don't see that happening.

    Nope, we get our bonuses in March.

    We do get an office lunch to a place of our choice and a $50 giftcard though.

    I work for city government in Texas. We get an "Appreciation Breakfast" (politically correct) where everyone gets a certificate of appreciation for our year of service, and we get a longevity check before Thanksgiving (about $300 this year). Not too bad. When I worked for a mortgage company back in the good old days, I did get pretty good bonuses and we always had a nice dinner party to places I would never be able to afford.

    We get our choice of a turkey or a ham and a catered in meal. It's something I guess. :)

    My bonus is an extra day off and the fact when I wake up the day after I still have employment. I love my job though so no tears about no bonus.

    We have a holiday party each year and we get a bonus too-being part of the admin team it's not as much as the field techs but I'm happy for anything (before starting here 3 years ago, I worked retail so we never got a bonus or anything) as well as having a job:bigsmile:

    I work in government. My only bonus is I get to cover everyone else's workload for the same pay so half our staff can go on vacation.
