Augie Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 In all my many years of working I never got a holiday bonus. I had to earn a bonus, not just be there at the right time of year. Did you get one? Or pissed because you didn’t? 2 minutes ago, Dante said: Self-employed now. No bonus for me. Well, you’re the boss! Make it happen! (Nice to be your own boss though.)

Gugny Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) I get a yearly bonus at the beginning of the year (for the prior year's results), but it's not for the holiday. The only kind of holiday bonus I've ever gotten from an employer was a free turkey for Thanksgiving and that didn't last too many years.

Got a bonus but my employers are Jewish so I’m not sure it’s a holiday bonus.

Augie Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 My wife is .00869% in fee income generated away from hitting a new threshold in her bonus. It’s a HUGE difference in the final payout, and only a few days left to hit it. It’s a deal or two away that are in the process but not sure how soon it can get approved and booked. It’s a CRAZY thin margin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Yes. A couple past employers would give nice bonuses, in the hundreds of dollars. Worst I ever got was a $50 gift card for some obscure website, that you could buy stuff on, like an Amazon wanna be. Thankfully one thing you could buy there was Amazon gift cards. Where my Dad used to work, your bonus was getting a choice between a frozen turkey or a canned ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 It’s more of a annual / end of year bonus than “holiday” but yup. Pretty significant too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I have two secretaries/assistants who basically run my office. They are pleasant, cordial, professional and good people.

KD in CA Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Christmas bonus? What is this, the 1950s? Year end bonuses need to be measured against year end results. Bonuses get paid in February. Maybe end of Jan if the head of Finance gets his lazy ass off football message boards and does some work to push them through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Holiday Pay is "Holiday Bonus" and applies to all Federal holidays. You have to be working the holiday... Or if your normal tour of duty is off on the holiday, then you get the holiday pay (double time) on another day directly before or after holiday. You only get the holiday off if there is double coverage (more than two scheduled). Then, you get day off with pay. Now... $$$ bonuses usually come out in July, but that is performanced based. Usually the marine towing companies will drop off baskets or what not during holidays... Case of whiskey, Southern Comfort, you name it. Regs used to be gifts under $20... I think that has been raised now. Throughout the year towboats will give out stuff like cans of coffee and Little Debbie snack cakes, etc... Sometimes they will order a pizza and toss you & the guy you are working with one your way too. If they are BBQing, make you a plate, etc... All that stuff is shared amongst the guys at work. The boats from New Orleans are good for tossing a can or two of this into the hat, coffee fund, especially around the Holidays. I don't drink coffee, so don't know if it is good or bad: If I get it, I give it to the coffee fund dude. Now pleasure boats always toss something... Just recently a bottle of Cuervo Gold and 151... Can't leave "trash" sitting on wall. I am not a boozer, so the other wine heads I work with snap that sheist up! The Asian carp, now they are cheapskates. They won't even acknowledge your baited hooks. Tight wads! Just get them through and they are happy.

Chef Jim Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Every year. BTW my wife works in law firms. The last firm in SF would give her two weeks pay (I think) which was nice. She’s at a new smaller firm and she got $100. Sure she’s only been there 6 months but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Guy Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 The place I used to work at for like 24 years gave out a year end bonus....they stopped that around 15 years ago, it wasn't really a bonus, it was a percentage of your salary for the upcoming year in advance...but they recently instituted a new bonus system. They reduced your base income by like 10%, but you could earn it back by meeting expectations. Really? Some bonus,right? You get your salary back...incredible.

My bonus structure is that I'm eligible for up to 12% of my annual salary. They take the overall performance (financial) of the company into account, then individual performance. As of last week, it looked like I'd be eligible for a max of 93% of the 12% (this is the overall company performance impact), which will be nice.
