Year End Bonus
A co-worker and I were talking about a year-end bonus last night and she seemed to feel that we don't get enough of a bonus. Generally, the company gives one week pay plus some years there is a premium paid if the company did well that year. I think this is generous, but this is the only company I've ever worked for so maybe I'm wrong. I'm wondering for those of you who work full time, does your company pay a bonus?

Re: Year End Bonus
Well, we haven't gotten raises in the past 2 years, but we (and I only know about my department's admins, I don't know about other departments or positions) get a flat $500 Christmas bonus no matter your salary as long as you've been here a full year. The first year I got $250 because I only worked a partial year.

I think your company is being way more than generous.

I do get 4 weeks of vacation, 2 personal days and 10 sick days a year though - so I'm sticking it out for now.
No bonuses here. The most I have ever received was $150 a few years ago.

[QUOTE]I got free lunch the other day, does that count? I also get a week and a half for Christmas (hopefully), which is nice.

I'm the only employee for a sole practitioner though, so normal business practices don't always apply.
Pay sucks, but he's really generous and flexible with my time off, so that's better for me right now. I probably get more paid time off than a lot of people.
And it did double post.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Year End Bonus : See, I hate that attitude. So it's cool for companies to shiit all over their employees because, "hey, you're lucky to have a job"? They know people probably won't quit or find something else. What a great work environment. (I know, I work in a place where we had a pay freeze for 2 years and had half our holidays and vacation taken away.) Not that NOT getting a bonus = shiity work environment, but workers should have dignity and standards.

I'm really picking up what you're putting down today, Mery.

[QUOTE]Can I pick the I don't know option. I have been here since May and my co-worker says they used to but he doesn't think it's happening this year. If it is, they haven't told us yet. Do any of you find out in advance that you are or aren't getting something or is it like the Griswalds and you just wait to see if it happens?

</div><div>We know in advance, but it's actually company policy that they do the quarterly bonuses, and the quarter ends (for us) in mid November. I work for a small used bookstore chain, and we've actually been lucky enough to open more stores this year. I know we are incredibly lucky an I'm glad to be there. The amount of the bonus changes for each quarter, depending on how well we did for the quarter. This quarter went pretty well, so it was a bigger check. Last quarter, we got less than $100. So it fluctuates. The Christmas bonus is a given, though.</div>

Besides the announcement today at lunch, I usually don't know how much, if at all, I'm getting until I get the email saying it's been deposited into my account.
