'Tis the season: Annual holiday bonus thread

Every year, this thread makes me think of this:

"I got a rock."

 

"High-end grocery??" Who you crappin'?

 

Been here 10 years. Never had a Xmas bonus.
A few years ago, the Xmas bash was pretty good. Last couple of years, you couldn't bring your sig-other until after midnight.
This year, they're canceling it. Individual depts may have some kind of lunches, though.
I haven't been for five years. So I won't miss it.

Happy my key card still works, too. At least the recent byline strike, part of union negotiations (which I didn't buy into) is over ;-)

 

Openly mocking the lameness of byline strikes:

 

I got $300, minus taxes last Tuesday, and I'm figuring I'll get $500, minus taxes in mid-December. Figuring they would be the first to go before layoffs, the bonuses (I'm assuming it's profit sharing) we got last week, made everybody breathe a lot easier.
