Nothing, not a thing I got this year. No meal, no decorations, not even a card.

A couple of years ago I helped a company out to the point where they avoided a prosecution and the owner drove 100miles each was just to surprise me with a bottle of whisky. Unfortunately he tried to give it to me in main reception in front of a few others.......... the look on his face when I explained that I had to polite decline his generous gift He went outside and handed to a tramp who was encamped outside. |

Probably the worst xmas bonus I've had would be, um, nothing. Something is always better than nothing.
Working in pubs etc, the usual would be a keg or so to share between everyone, and before the extended hours lark, all night lock-ins for employees & family only, but sometimes that was a 'bring your own' deal (where the bosses accidentally dropped something in the ice buckets, but head office never knew anything about that). I've also just found out what my xmas bonus is from my current place of employment. But it doesn't belong in this thread, since it was asked for bad examples |

Well i work for Xerox. Yes the large worldwide organisation that you probably have a product or two in your office. Well, what did they give us...a 'party'. They hired the top floor of a local pub (Classy huh) and brought us drinks. We where promissed a disco OR foodm we got neither.
I so motivated...i really am. We didnt even get a £10 voucher like we did last year!! Its all bollox, but then what do you expect, when we are the only division make profit within Xerox. |
