Oh mate really sorry to hear that, a few years ago I got back to work after xmas the boss needs to see you....yeah we have to let go can't afford you.
I walked away with a weeks pay luckly found another job then got layed off again!

What is it with companies laying people off at Christmas?

We don't get a Christmas bonus, as far as I know. We also have to fund our Christmas night out. But that's my fault I guess, coz I chose to work for Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust.

No bonus (as in money), but I do get 3...maybe even 4 days off

That will be my longest break from work in 18 months, and only the 3rd time during that period I'll have had more than one day off at a time.

Whoopee!

I blame my boss

what do you do?!

Northern Rock
£200 + 6% of their salary this year

It has gone well for them I suppose

This is what ASDA are giving their staff............

The sum equates to an average £75 each.
Asda is giving every colleague, including the supermarket’s Seasonal Squad workers – a 10,000-strong group of permanent temps who work for the retailer for ten weeks each year during the holiday seasons – a £20 Christmas gift card to spend in its stores, £5 towards a Christmas party and a free festive meal.
Colleagues will also get a 20% discount – double their normal 10% saving – off a range of products in a special discount.
Products include beer, wine and spirits, decorations, gifts, toys, jewellery, perfume and George clothing.
Asda has 347 stores and depots across the UK. It has opened more than 20 new stores around the UK this year, and taken on more than 8,000 new staff members

I think it's a great incentive. It shouldn't just be the bosses who wallow in their million pound 'performance' bonuses
