DHs boss gives everyone a turkey the week of Thanksgiving. Ours is now defrosting in the fridge and will take deep-fry-plunge on Thursday!! yum!

At my old job, there were many Christmas perks for managers. I miss those....but not enough to work outside the home again.

At my current job (my kids and I are in year two of our business)...there simply arent the funds yet. But I envision that changing as business grows!!

I have never gotten anything. My husband is self employed, so he has never gotten anything either. I use to have a boss that would give us a fruit cake. Does anyone eat them? I don't!!

We get a bonus, i believe it's usually under $1,000. Just learned when my ex called me the other day, get this, he got $33,000 as a bonus. He works in an oil industry-related field. Oh, and his performance review was not stellar.

i think everyone should get a bonus and gc from their employer.. or something of monetary value, it is greatly deserved... it is hard to find loyal employees... i am very thankful for everything that we receive... i hope companies will recognize this in the future... i know how it feels to receive almost nothing... we lived it for alot of years... best to all.

ok I thought I had this all typed out... kids musta messed w/ the keyboard.

The company parties that dh's companies throw are their "bonus' " Though they decided to get rid of the adult Holiday party to make the Kids & the Picnic "better" Though they are pretty snazzy parties by comparison to some. But they've gone down hill over the years according to dh.

When I was working they gave us a bonus that was equilivant to about 2 weeks pay depending on how your mini review went & they calculated things & I got paid holidays. That was about the only good thing about that place tward the end.
My previous job was retail and my only bonus was getting Christmas Day off, w/o pay of course!

We get a $100 to $200 in cash right before the holidays (depending on how the year went) and we usually get a pretty swanky office party.

Additionally, we get our "real" bonuses in March - these are a week or two of pay, minus taxes which end up being a lot.

I hear of others getting larger bonuses, but I'm happy with what I get!
