christmas bonus?

January 12th, 2010 | by admin |

how about this then. i work 4 a company who turn over in excess of £1 million a week. earlier on i recieved a card from the boss with a marks & sparks voucher inside for £15. tight or what? whats the worst christmad `bonus` u have recieved from work etc. it,ll cheer me up a bit

I work for £5.10 an hour doing a million and one things at once- I work for river island. my wage has never gone up and I have been there way over a year.

They dont do bonuses.

I do alot of over time and work anywhere from 4 to 30 hours a week,
My job is long and boring, and usually freezing cold as the manager insists we have the shop doors wedged wide open as otherwise customers complain we look shut (despite the shop being filled with customers shopping) dont get paid for the breaks I "HAVE" to take on 6,7,8,9, or 11 hour shifs.

I dont get a bonus.

My job entails greating every customer with a grin and asking them how I can help. I have to run changing rooms, shoes, stock room or tills- or stand at the front of the store near the open doors for 8 plus hours at a time, acting as a security guard catching thieves. If I fail to do any of these and customers or mystery shoppers mention it, I get told off. If I do well and get mentioned by a shopper or mystery shopper, I MAY get a £10 river island gift voucher. The clothes are too expensive for me to afford anyway.

Idont get a bonus

No I am not 16, I am 25 and live alone so have to work to pay bills. I do have a degree but as I have no experience, cannot get into visual design.

I dont get a bonus.

Christmas eve from 7pm to (last year) 10.30 pm is compulsary. Dont even ask about new years.

I don t get a bonus

I am in 2500 debt, ignoring the fact I have 16000 in student loan to pay back when I do get a decent job.

know anyone looking for staff??

    A few years ago, a company I worked for gave out $5.00 gift cards to a seafood place. The cheapest item on the menu is about $15.

    A paper BOX

    with the Company’s advertizement on it, I threw it in the garbage and my manager came by and said I had to keep it on my desk.

    I would have rather gotten the 5 bucks

    Ps the year before that was a company pen that didn’t Write.

    Oh and they are a Huge corporation, National, and its a Health insurance company. We’re talking Billions Billions and I gotta have a reminder of the BS Box staring me in the face,

    She pulled it out of the Garbage and stuck it on my desk.

    What Crap, even UPS gets a turkey.

    After your company has paid Gordon Brown HIS Xmas bonus, that was probably the most they could afford! at least you got a Xmas bonus. My wife got a £1.99 bottle of cheap German wine and I got zilch.

    None, I have only had one position that I was given a Holiday Bonus and it was a picture frame. It is my understanding that according to research many companies have gone away from bonuses for just this reason – ingratitude- your employer has already given you a job and was kind enough to remember you with a holiday token. I’d say you are luckier than you think. Chin up and remember to drop the boss a thank you for their thoughtfulness.

    That’s more than I got for a Christmas bonus – nothing – and to top it off we had what was supposed to be a "Christmas Party" in our warehouse… ummmmm ok no.

I busted my @ss for this freak’n’ company and it wouldn’t have been where it was without me. that’s the thanks I get, F Them after this crappy bonus this year, I’m taking my vacation time to find a new job. That’ll teach’m'! In addition to I didn’t get a raise for the last 3 years.

    OK so after reading all the other responses, I feel like I have it made.
    I work for a couple attorneys and well my bonus was $500.00 more but it was taxed. I have to say that I am a lot more appreciative than I was before this question.

    bonus: something given or paid over and above what is due. This is the definition according to dictionary.com.

    The idea here is that you aren’t OWED a bonus. It’s something given above and beyond your salary. I hate to be the downer in your pity party, but stop being ungrateful. At least your bosses gave you something.

    I don’t work now, but when I did it was for our local newspaper who also had a fantastic turnover each month, my Christmas bonus, a free paper, big deal.

    when I was 15 years old, I worked for a brewery company and at Christmas we all got ‘double wages’ , I earned £2. 12 shillings per week, so I got £5. 4 shillings, which I think these days , works out just under £6.

    SHILLINGS??? 1843? Are you Bob Cratchit ? Did you expect to get a bonus to provide some slight provision for the poor and destitute who suffer greatly at this time of year?
