Christmas Bonus

[Flattop]

Just wondering what other blue-collar workers are getting for a christmas bonus. For every additional year of service with the company we get $5.00 added per year until you reach $100.00 and then you are maxed out.
I have been with the company 11 years so I'm getting $65.00.
Is this good? Bad?

You must work for CHEAP bastages.... 11 years and only $65.00?? That is Sh_t !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonus??? What's that??

Bonus??? What's that??

i agree. the company i work for can go spend millions on new buildings for nothing to do with the company, cut profit sharing, and not do ANYTHING for their employees for the holidays. we used to get a coupon book so we go spend our money on our own products which are way over priced.
wow, i love the company i work for!!!

im a freaking software engineer and i got a blanket with the company logo on it for a christmas bonus...

$65 sounds really good at this point...

apparently some of you need to get a new job. i thought i was being stingy with $200, but now it sounds like i could cut that back. maybe get the secretary a nice coffe mug or something!

Exactly..... I'm an Applications Engineering Manager and I didn't even get a blanket Work for a company that brings in over 1B of revenue annually and we have been luck to get a Christmas party.....

So I would say 65 is pretty cool

I worked as a part-time law clerk for a firm during college and got $100 bonus, I'd only worked there for a little over a month. I thought that was a pretty darn good deal. I guess I was right.

Our company isn't doing so hot and we get profit sharing checks 2 times a year.. I think I got 325 or so after uncle same had his share..

unbelieveable how little/nothing some of the higher grosing companies pay out. granted, generally when you make that much, you usually have lots of employees, thus the bonus's(sp) would be l ot, but still. i'm a small business owner, and i find a way to make it work. you can't tell me that a company with 1 B gross can't afford to give a decent bonus, especially when they will hand out millions upon millions in donations. but of course those are tax breaks, and lowly employees just cost companies money!!

I can't discuss what I get now, but the last company I worked for gave me $10,000 each of the last three years I was there. Thing is, I was (still am) on salary, that was about what my overtime would have been. Makes for a VERY nice Christmas at any rate.

10% raise for us.

Works for me!

I got a really nice dinner at a posh restaurant in Steamboat, a hotel room for the night (since I live 56 miles away from the office), 1200 in cash, a custom embroidered Carhartt winter coat and I just found out I got a raise too! Pretty good for a small Land Surveying firm with 5 full time employees and 4 part time/seasonal employees! We all are pretty proud to work for such a generous man. This is the same guy that also got us World Series tickets!

we get profit sharing checks every december last year i got $7000

 

[TIM]

there is about 20 of us in my company.
the xmas party was $1727.56
the bonuses will probably cost me around $10,000 but they don't go out until christmas. Oh we also have profit sharing, that will be paid inthe spring to the employees 401k account. Last year that cost me $50,000.

smaller companies seem to be able to give more at christmas. Think about it, 1000 employees given $100 each. Not to many can afford that.

I got $2500 this year

I got a $25 gift cert for the local grocery store for the last 6 years as a scheduled employee. Now I'm salary and I'll get about $7000 before taxes. kinda f-ed up for a co that had profits in the 3 bil range last quarter. If I had any direct employee's I'd at least take them out to dinner or something.

 

[Supplicate]

Got a christmas card this year and thats it.

Last year didn't even get that.

Year before that was much more substantial.
