Christmas bonus

[Luckypants]

My firm do not do xmas bonuses. The worst one I got was from my boss a few years ago (was foreign, so quote is correct!)

You lucky you have job!

I work in the public sector.......not a chance of a Christmas bonus. We're not even allowed to accept gifts from grateful people that we've helped over the year.

But think of the other benefits of Public Sector working, Flexi time, superb Pension rights etc.

Our place pays their bonuses in Feb, no idea what we're getting this year

Last year we got v. nice Waitrose bottles of wine, port and champagne (was worth at least £50), 2 xmas parties (with free bar) and an xmas lunch. This year, a free half day's leave, 1 free bar party (including free accomodation) and a free chinese buffet lunch.

We never get cards (nor do my clients) as my company makes a charity donation instead, which is something I approve of.

Normally she gets diddly-squat, but this year my girlfriend got £500 cash (half of which is being used to replace my GPS that she lost ).

What's most amusing is she actually used it to navigate back to outside our house and lost it in the 10ft between the car and the front door!

First and last time she borrowed it...
