Christmas Bonus 2
OK, so in light of the other thread being a little down in the dumps. I thought I'd ask the opposite.
What's the best xmas bonus you've ever had? |

To get the ball rolling, I've just had written confirmation of my present by the company. They're going to (at a clients request) allow me to have time off, when I specify, for a month with pay, anytime in 2007. The client requested this, because of a conversation I had with my contact at the client site. The conversation went something like: Quote:

I once got 15% of salary as a bonus, once in 9 years with same company. I left 2 years ago and they've made full bonus every year since
Must have been me holdin' 'em back... |

My bonuses are quite significant. The last month of the year is a killer for anticipation!

My best Christmas bonus was a flight back to the UK from Sumatra. I had gone there for a quick 1 week job 2nd week in December to discover the site had a major virus problem that had screwed up their project information system and the site director would not let me leave until such time as they were happy that all outstanding issues were resolved. I ended up writing a set of routines to check out every document in an enormous database and virus scan it. I was then able to get on with the job I was there to do in the first place. Christmas Eve morning he told me I was booked on the afternoon flight out of Jakarta. and to get my backside back in January.
Phoned the wife to say I was on my way home and was so happy to hear her crying down the phone.
