Christmas Bonus Time!
 

Woooo!

I work for one of Britains most profitable companies, (we had revenue of £13 BILLION this year before November, next year it should be bigger;)) So we get rewarded as such!

This year our bonus is................a £2 schoolesque christmas dinner. yum.


Anyone do better than that?

A tin of reindeer pate!

we get nothing

I work for a company whose share price has soared from a few pence about 4 years ago to as of today €151. What do we get:-

About £25 towards a Christmas meal
invited to buy 4 shares at 20% discount but can only get our hands on them in 5 years if we are still with the company

Re: Christmas Bonus Time!
 

We get nothing. But apparently the Christmas dinner that we can have in the canteen has been subsidised (by about £2).

Re: Christmas Bonus Time!
 

What industry/business size are you guys in, to put some perspective on it? Guy next to me got £7000 in his last job, what a duff year now!

Re: Christmas Bonus Time!
 

I get nothing..

Oh, they are doing a party, for just support departments. Can't have us lower class technical folk dining with the snotty ass lawyers now can we......

Needless to say, the party really isn't worth much, its on a thursday night and half the people won't turn up anyway as the venue is usually so terrible.


Now when i worked at Barclays Capital, £1million + on the Xmas party... Twas a great night.


Oh, that on the back of making redundent 20 secretaries, cutting half the secretaries desk spaces, then they send out an email saying we've made £72 million profit last year....

Nice...... I HATE my job so much :(

Oh, to top it off, my other half comes home with about £700-£1000 in cash every year after her party (small accoutants, going very posh and very popular restaurants, like they do every year), so thats an added kick in the teeth.. Oh, and all the chocolates, wines etc she gets too..

Re: Christmas Bonus Time!
 

Last year I got a good amount but had only been with the company 6 months. If I dont get a CONSIDERABLE sum of money this christmas I will be leaving.

Because.....

1) It has been promised as I stayed when another company tried to poach me.

2) I have been working damn hard and do ALOT more work than I should.

So we shall see........

Blimey, that's really insulting. I think I'd prefer nothing! Which incidently is what I'm getting. :(

Hopefully getting a pay rise this week instead though, so that'll be alright :santa:
