BringBackFergy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I have two employees and typically give each of them a bonus equal to about 3 weeks of pay...I, on the other hand, don't get a bonus but expect that they will do their jobs professionally and be courteous with clients (which they are). The fact that clients come back and refer others to me (partly due to my employees' good work) is how I earn my bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firedawg Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I get a great afternoon with my co-workers eating good food and having a few drinks and a ton of laughs. The 7 of us including my director and manager are a pretty tight knit group and we enjoy our time together outside of the office. We also get to come to work everyday and are respected and thanked for our contributions and skills. That goes a long way with me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last many holiday meals he will go in before everyone else as food is being set up and grab a plate. He will then eat it by himself and make sure to leave the area by the time any employees have even begun to make their plates. He is the epitome of a douche.

That's really pathetic. not a way to inspire your employees. Makes you wonder how a guy like that rose to his position. He literally is king turd of Douche Island. Our company, one of the oldest and at one time prominant in furniture; a company almost 110 years old just finished bankruptcy under our parent company. We had shares one time over $250per. This past Summer we were delisted from the NYSE with share prices under $2, and that was after a reverse 7-1 split. It is clear that management is totally lost. The guy spends his time in his office at another building which does not even produce anything then comes and spends less then 10 minutes walking through the plant a day after he comes and takes the secretary out to work. I can only hope he sees this and fires me. We all hate the place and are just hoping we close. The bankruptcy just ended a few weeks ago and our flagship plant has been toured by our new owner and he threw a fit that it was a mess. Our plant is 100x worse.

Gugny Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 my bonus is that if i work hard enough i will be able to keep my job and get a regular paycheck, we also get a very nice lunch the friday before christmas at the valley forge casino This is my deal, as well. I'll take it. We get yearly bonuses, but usually in February. Those translate to about 8% of our salary prior to taxes, which take 40%. But it's better than a sharp stick in the eye.

The Avenger Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Never got a Christmas bonus at any job. When I worked at NBC the running joke was that the letters stood for No Bonus at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I had a job in Biotech. They laid about 60 people out of 240 in October. Then that New Years everyone got a 5% raise. One of the guys under me was complaining that it was only 5%. I told him we should be lucky we were still working. On that Valentine's Day, about another 60 of us got laid off.

shrader Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 What's a bonus? I may get a promotion that comes with a 10% raise this month though. If that actually comes through, I'll consider it a bonus this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
