I just got word that I will be at my new company. 2 extra days off of my choice and a triple digit cash bonus. Score. =]

What are you monkeys getting if anything?

I know most companies are really feeling the economic crisis right now. My girlfriend is getting her hours cut and no bonus this year. She has been with the clinic for 5 years. Pretty lame. I am debating keeping my bonus to myself.

 

[geargrrl]

I work for myself. Maybe I'll take an extra off or something.

 

[G-spot]

Yes I have already got mine--Bought a neck brace and a season pass to snowshoe with a little extra left over.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

We get bonuses regularly proportional to profit company makes. Nothing special for the holidays.

 

[Kevin]

I have a 4 month holiday bonus.
3 Weeks snowboarding in Austria.
2 Weeks discovering Thailand by train.
4 Weeks New Zeeland 4 whatever...

Oh and I get payed 100% a month.

 

[mandown]

ours are getting pushed back to march/april, along with annual raises.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

I got a summons for jury duty.

 

[Arkayne]

I aint gettin ****

edit: this is true. an office-wide email was sent by the suits wishing us a happy holiday. attached was an image made in powerpoint and exported as jpg. I should make my own image and send it back. we usually get a tiny 'something' in form of a gift card or paycheck bonus but not this year.

 

[stoney]

I just got a raise... But I am not getting a bonus again until next Dec.

 

[hooples3]

city agency.. no bonuses but they pay for our Xmas party.. wooohooo

 

[4xBoy]

One free day off, should be glad I am still working, I guess.

 

[I Are Baboon]

This is the first time at this company that I am not getting one...been here almost seven years. The financials this past year could be better. It's a bummer for sure, but all things considered, I can't complain.

 

[Nick]

Nope. We're hurting.

 

[-dustin]

who knows...our numbers are up from last year, but my boss is super, super conservative with money. I'm sure I'll be asked to pitch in to buy him something, though...at which point, I will again say "no, i don't think so."

 

[splat]

nope -- nota

 

[Slugman]

I get quarterly bonuses - moving to a new system that will be soley based on the sales in my territory (western half of the USA).

2009 will be a good year for me!

 

[narlus]

there will still be a bonus at the company i work for this year...i'm at a level now where i see the distribution (in terms of what % the bonus can be, as a function of both performance rating and base salary), and it's crazy just how heavily weighted it is towards people who already have a very large base salary.

 

[stinkyboy]

2009 will be a good year for me!

Keep that fridge stocked!

We get quarterly bonuses as well if we meet goals we set for ourselves. Only been there two months, so I don't expect anything more than being so blessed to be working at an awesome company making good dough when so many others are hurting.

 

[DirtMcGirk]

I get a free lunch if I work Christmas day.
Other then that, not a damn thing.

 

[Jim Mac]

No, I work in the NPF field and our budget relies on NYS who is predicting a 15 billion dollar deficit. My health insurance just 'cost shifted' some health care costs to us...I now have a deductible of $1300 on top of a higher family rate (adds $100 per month AND 1st time ever having a deductible). Therefore, my income just dropped $2500 for '09! Hi De FRIGGIN Ho!

 

[ire]

wait.....people get bonuses!!!???? I get nothing, I'm from the government and I'm hear to help

 

[drkenan]

Last week we had a meeting for an entrepreneur organization that I'm a member of and one of the big topics was how to tell employees that they aren't getting a bonus or raise this year. I think everyone in attendance was slashing them. Tough times right now - be glad you have a job.

 

[Jim Mac]

HERE to help! :biggrin:

 

[Westy]

We aint getting ****. The economy sucks so the employees must be punished.

 

[RUFUS]

We can't get "holiday bonuses" in the miltary but we always get a small pay raise every January. Not much at all but something.
For my home business I will give myself a few days off and maybe give myself a huge holiday bonus. i.e. more bike parts!!!

 

[mantispf2000]

If we meet certain performance levels, we get quarterly bonuses from $50-$200, minus taxes (yipee!!). As for a holiday bonus, each employee got a frozen turkey. That means the wife and I got 2 birds, and we're ssoooo looking forward to all the sandwiches/salads/soups/etc we'll be having. Have I died and gone to ?????

 

[antimony]

After reading this, I guess I am grateful for my Christmas bonus. It was slightly less than last year, but it came with the same, swank, open-bar party as previous years. Ho ho ho!

 

[Serial Midget]

No bonus for 2008.

And the photos are where?

 

[jdcamb]

I need another stimulus bonus. I swear I will spend it all at sams club again....

 

[BigMike]

Funny, I was just wondering about this. I have been working at my job for a few months, and I have no idea if they give bonuses. We're supposed to have a big Christmas party in January sometime, open bar. We'll see. Maybe I'll get something, but I'm not counting on it.

 

[Icantdrive65]

My bonus is that I start a new year not working for my old boss anymore. And, as I am now self-employed, I will owe almost no taxes since I netted about $2000 this year. Starting a business is awesome!

 

[$tinkle]

2% - no raises across teh board

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

I'll make at least $12 for jury duty.

Fukk Yeah !

 

[stosh]

No bonuses this year and they used to be sweeeeet!!!

However our office has been really slow and since we haven't had any overtime I got a second job. Well my company found out because I told them... and they were upset that times were so bad that I had to be away from my family and possibly wouldn't be giving this place 100% so they offered me a car. The idea is that I would be selling my xterra (which is on the market) and get rid of the monthly payment and they would provide me with a car. So I'm currently driving around a 2009 Corolla which is totally awesome, then they get some tax benefits since it's a company car, I save money on a vehicle payment/insurance and gas with this nice little rice burner. All in all it probably works out to the same as if I was to get my yearly bonus however neither of us get taxed like we would on a cash payout.

 

[boogenman]

I got a $1,200 bonus but I paid half into it.

 

[dan-o]

Historically I've given my foremen $2500 year end bonuses but I couldn't swing it this season. Material and energy cost spikes really cut into profits this year leaving a lot less on the table come year end.

The guys aren't complaining though. They're happy I could keep both crews working 100% during a brutal time for construction.

Yeah a lot of people myself included in the construction business are just happy to have jobs.

What do you do?

 

[dhmike]

i wish i got a bonus , so my answer is no.

 

[dan-o]

What do you do?

Residential painting and carpentry contractor in coastal MA. I don't do new construction or work for GCs so I've been spared a lot of the hardship felt by others.
