This morning my boss came around and handed everyone in the office a $500 Christmas bonus. This was totally unexpected (for me at least) because I'm just on a student work-term type of deal. Maybe now I can put the downpayment on the swimming pool (which I wouldn't be able to do if he had given me a membership to the jelly of the month club).
Anyone else receive an early Christmas present?
Gotta love holiday bonuses! Just got $400 today with another $3000 to $5000 coming next week! :biggrin:
If by "early Christmas present" you mean a 4-day company-spancered Vegas trip, then yeah...I did get an early Christmas present!Quote:

Nice, bonus cash is always good - more Pilsner for Fridge?
I gotta give props to my boss - RCR super passes for both my gf and I.
We got 3 days off between Christmas and Newyears to get that whole week off so we don't have to spend any vacation. I think that is pretty cool.
That's awesome. Our company is growing at 40+% a year and we dont' get shit for a Christmas bonus.
nice must be a boulder thing. cause my company gives the same.Quote:

That should be the most raging office Christmas party ever!Quote:

(calling boss' cell phone at 6:30 pm wednesday night)
Me: Hey, I think I'm going to go skiing for awhile in the morning.
Boss: What time are you going to be in?
Me: Noon-ish
Boss: Cool, see you tomorrow.
Bonuses are also coming in a few weeks. My job doesn't suck.
I, am also great.
I got a nice, unexpected, year end bonus a month ago...unfortunately, I totally suck and am using it as seed money for my own company instead of doing something fun with it (like giving half of it to the govenment in income tax). I do get to go on the company trip to Jamacia this year, which does not suck.
My boss asked me to work from the 22nd thru to the 31.
piss on her.
You're into some kinky shit.Quote:

My Christmas present was my boss telling me he's retiring next year and I will have to cover his duties as well as mine without a pay raise until some eligible (read: not me) transfers into his job. Great, I like my boss so I hate to see him leave and taking on two full time job duties without additional pay is not something I'm looking forward too again. Merry fucking Christmas. :cussing:
I get a funny eraser that you can put on the end of a pencil. Does that count as a christmas bonus?
I get christmas day and eve, and newyears eve and day off. Thats a big deal when you work at a mountain. But I guess four years with one company in the ski industry should be worth something right?
haha, I'll be drinking in style tonight!Quote:

I don't think I'm getting anything. So as it stands, this is probably my favorite boss.

well, I'm a government drone, so no bonus. But since I teach a bunch of little tools all day I get to stay on a cush student schedule. 2 weeks at christmas, spring break, and 2 1/2 months in the summer. Nice work for a big kid that doesn't want to grow up.:rolleyes2
Well, my boss just told me he would sponsor a Benz for me and a 4WD Audi A 6 for the wifey.:yourock:
oh yeah well i get all i can drink and 6 hours of go carts next wensday!! or until we get thrown out.....but hey i work at a ski shop part time, and would be drunk of wendsday anyways..........
Update: I had my lame-ass company party last night. Most gat party ever. One table serving 500 people, ridiculously long line, then the present.....the present....five cookies wrapped in paper and fancy foil.
:fuckyou:
Yeah I got an early X-mas present........kneee surgery last Friday!!! Woot woot!!! Oh yeah. Just a scope of the meniscus. Should be able to make turns in 10-14 days. Will the first time in about two years skiing without knee pain. (I hope)Quote:

My current and prior employers do that. It comes out of the regular vacation fund so I'm not so thrilled by it. I'd rather travel other times of the year.Quote:

Heh. We had our Christmas "party" last night... main buffet included such delicacies as nachos, meatballs, chicken wings, and a pasta station. No prizes, no money handed out. May have been the worst party I've ever seen.
This is my bosses idea of a work party

This summer I asked my boss if the company would send me to Las Lenas. He said no way, there is no company business for you down there. Then he followed that up by saying that I do need to go to AK this spring to check in on the Heli ski companies and see how our involvement with them is going.
He is indeed a great boss.
