Christmas bonus or not?

I did And I got promoted so it was a good year. I’m extremely lucky to work in a job where I now get the annual bonus. Makes such a huge difference in moral around here!

 

My Bonus is I don’t get canned on Christmas Eve, hopefully.

 

Jelly of the month club...

 

My employer is too cheep and honestly doesn't give a shit about us to give anyone but the VP's and such a bonus. I am surprised we don't have to pay to use the restroom.

 

That sounds crappy

 

So uhhhh, which lake(s) are these boating accidents in? I've got some work to do.

 

No Christmas specific bonus for me. I work for an "Independent, self-supporting state agency", so every year around the beginning of our fiscal year we get a bonus that is their version of profit sharing. We also have the opportunity to sell back our leave twice a year (May and November) but I wouldn't call that a Christmas bonus either.

 

$8500. Not sure what it is based on though. Ended up with $3900 after taxes......

 

My company just did it’s 3rd round of layoffs for this year... so no bonuses or raises for us.

I’ve Only been there since April but trying to get the hell out. I Started the week before the 737 max got grounded so it turns out between that and the 777x engine issues it’s not the best time to be in the Aerospace business.

We had our quarterly company meeting this week and it’s never a good sign when the CEO’s first slide is titled “2019, a tough year”

 

Same here... Are you from MD?

 

I am! Do you work for this same agency?

 

It's very possible....

 

Hot damn where you working?

 

I'm a consultant for a large engineering firm.

 

Prob salary % based on some type of company/perso performance.
Pretty lax though if you don't know how it came about haha.

 

Yeah I'm sure they have a formula, just not sure what it is, also don't much care, just keep them coming.

 

Based on performance 5K twice a year July and Dec before tax....
