I've been here for over 6 years. Every year, we've received bonuses, even my first year when I started in August. And we've always gotten them before Christmas.
The owners are now both gone on vacation with their families until 12/29. We weren't given bonuses. We get paid 12/26 and then not again until 1/9. They haven't said anything about bonuses to any of us senior mangers. And you know what? I'm fucking pissed off. I know how well the company is doing. We are way up from last year. If you don't want to give bonuses anymore, FINE. But just fucking tell us. We've also got employees that are expecting bonuses too. So if that's the case, I need to let my employees know.
And I know this is super petty, but the owners didn't even say congrats after I came back from my honeymoon. We're a very small, tight-knit company. They know my husband very well, as he's done work here in our building for them. When our last head chef got married, they bought her a brand new laptop. And I got nothing. Not a card. Not a fucking word. I'm so angry.
I guess it's possible they'll give out bonuses next month, but when people have always received them in December, I think it's a shitty thing to do.
