No, we get quarterly bonuses.

12/4/2012 9:54:54 PM

We get a bonus, I was mad because its less than last year but maybe I shouldn't be



[Edited on December 4, 2012 at 10:04 PM. Reason : In addition to/ separate from performance bonus]

12/4/2012 9:55:42 PM

lol no

12/4/2012 9:57:05 PM

I don't know. This is my first Christmas at this job.

I get paid a living stipend with the GI Bill, it used to be that during the christmas break, so long as you were going to school in fall and spring you would get the full living stipend (1100 a month for Raleigh) However, Congress, in their infinite wisdom, decided this was unacceptable so they decided to prorate it so Vets don't get paid during the winter break.

Congress loves fucking over Vets.

12/4/2012 10:00:00 PM

I work for the govt, we don't get shit

12/4/2012 10:08:15 PM

^ This. I get holiday pay for working on Christmas...that's about it. Not even double time, just time and half.

12/4/2012 10:11:11 PM

not since i've been self-employed

12/4/2012 10:13:45 PM

they used to give a bonus, but now they deposit 3.5% of your income into your retirement account

12/4/2012 10:13:50 PM

I wish.

Academia. Sucks.

12/4/2012 10:18:02 PM

Biannual bonus based solely on individual performance metrics. Company barely breaking even but I'm killing it? Thanks for the bonus check.

12/4/2012 10:37:21 PM

8-9% annual performance bonus plus Christmas eve to new years pto

12/4/2012 10:43:13 PM

My wife gets a 2$ bill as a christmas bonus. 5 years in a row now her boss has given one to each teacher at her school.

12/4/2012 10:43:39 PM

I get an annual bonus but it's always at the end of the fiscal year in June.

12/4/2012 10:45:31 PM

not since the economy tanked

My boss gives us each a bag of chocolate balls from Germany every year when he gets back from his month long vacation in Europe

12/4/2012 11:39:35 PM

We've got some small, results-driven contests for the end of the year. One pays out at the end of the year and one will payout mid-Jan. Our yearly bonuses don't payout until late Feb/early Mar.

I wish I was forced PTO for two weeks during the year though. Only day I get off around now is Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Probably why we start w/ 3 wks paid vacation.

[Edited on December 5, 2012 at 1:59 AM. Reason : adsf]

12/5/2012 1:55:53 AM

No. I get a month of unpaid, involuntary "vacation".

12/5/2012 2:29:31 AM

2 weeks of unpaid involuntary "vacation"

12/5/2012 5:24:52 AM

No.

WTF, well as long as the GSA can have $800,000 parties in Vegas I guess I'm okay with this.

12/5/2012 7:03:10 AM

Christmas bonuses are different than performance bonus. I get performance bonuses, but everyone here also gets a 5% bonus entirely independent of performance for Christmas.

12/5/2012 7:05:05 AM

Nope

12/5/2012 7:50:27 AM

$500 and an extra day off.

12/5/2012 8:39:58 AM

Surprisingly, yes. It's not much, but I'm thankful for it, since I'm not really in a typical position that would receive a bonus.

[Edited on December 5, 2012 at 8:52 AM. Reason : s]

12/5/2012 8:45:55 AM

Previous years I would. Now I'd imagine not.

12/5/2012 9:01:41 AM

AT one of my first jobs out of school I got $200 each christmas. Little did I know that isn't how mos places roll. Now I get shit.

12/5/2012 9:35:39 AM

I get an annual performance bonus on December 15th, its 15% this year, plus profit sharing in the 401k (not sure what its going to be yet) As far as an actual Christmas bonus, we don't get much, 2 chickens and a bag of potatoes and they usually give us something at the Christmas party. Last year it was a $50 gift card, and they had a name drawing for a tv and some other random stuff. Last year we lost a bunch of money though, and this year we made a huge profit, so I'm kind of excited to see what they'll give us at the party.

12/5/2012 1:04:17 PM

no bonuses...but no forced PTO like my last job, since we just get the week and a half off

12/5/2012 1:13:02 PM

thankfully, I do

12/5/2012 1:14:05 PM

Well, I have hot chow again instead of rations, so...yes?

12/5/2012 1:23:26 PM

Year 1: Catered Christmas Party, gift basket, $50 prepaid Visa
Year 2: Catered Christmas Party, gift basket
Year 3: Catered Christmas Party
Year 4: Potluck
Year 5: Potluck, you have to use 5 days of your accrued vacation to cover the scheduled "shutdown"
Year 6: Potluck, you have to use 5 days of your accrued vacation to cover the scheduled "shutdown", move the office making everyone's commute 3x (or more) as long

Pretty sure next year will involve a red hot poker.

I got an annual Christmas bonus when I lived in NYC. So did everyone else I knew up there.

Down here I get nothing, and so does everyone else. "yay South!"

12/5/2012 1:31:08 PM

No.

12/5/2012 1:36:50 PM

^^ Ugh, thanks for reminding me I can't get a job in the city

we usually get a Christmas bonus every year just before Thanksgiving but nothing yet this year

12/5/2012 2:08:50 PM

didn't even get a performance raise this year, so no, definitely no bonus
