'Tis the season for a Christmas bonus!!

[AreaMan]

I got nothing. Hopefully others made out better than me.

 

[Write-brained]

I got one. It's a life-saver Christmas-saver.

I might get to keep my job. Might.

I might get to keep my job. Might.

I certainly hope so, but be sure to give my wishes to Tiny Tim.

Tiny Tim sucks. **** Tiny Tim. **** him in the asshole with a big, rubber ****. Then break it off and beat him with the rest of it.

Thank you, Mr. Scrooge ...

I'm one of thew lucky few. I'll be with family in 70 degree weather a few thousand miles away from the office, gettin' paid anyway.

 

[HejiraHenry]

We'll find out Wednesday.

Unlike most years in our unique shop, there hasn't been much bonus talk this year.

We know our real estate arm hasn't done that well, but the weeklies have.

The daily seems to be closing strong, and having a bowl game to amp sales can't hurt.

I'll guess it winds up being 2 percent across the board, but that's just a guess.

 

[Colton]

I work in a CNHI shop... nothing else needs said, huh?

(cheap ****ers!)

 

[Igor in CT]

Yes, could be JRC

 

[Colton]

Igor: Both are swimming in the cesspool in the bottom of the barrel, huh?

Thank you, Mr. Carlin ...

Enhanced.

Our Christmas bonus, such as it is, is being allowed to attend the office Christmas party at the local yacht club. I might go, except that 1) I'd look as out of place as Bubbler at a WalMart shareholder's meeting and 2) it's on a Friday in middle of Holiday Basketball Tournament season.

 

[Rex Harrison]

My former paper's idea of a Christmas bonus was a coupon book and a Holiday Party thrown in late January. Of course, it was on a Friday night, so guess which department never showed up? The HR moron never understood why we couldn't make it.

Another anecdote of why I left the business.

 

[imjustagirl2]

You know, I bitched and moaned about the "holiday party" that was "optional" at my last shop. How I had to get gussied, then go to a basketball game after like 20 minutes at the party (terribly overdressed).

But it's better than the big batch of nothingness I get at this gig.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Yeah, but think of all the young men in the stands that you dazzled.

 

[BigSleeper]

As always, ours was a $10 grocery store gift card meant to be a bonus for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. I still haven't used it.

 

[forever_town]

WHAT holiday bonus?

If we want a holiday party, we throw one ourselves.

 

[budcrew08]

This year, our holiday party is scheduled to start at 12:15, so guess which departments get to partake -- not the news or sports departments! Who gives a rat's **** about a ****in' holiday party anyway?

IJAG, did you have the 15- and 16-year-old boys on the JV hitting on you during the varsity game in the example you mentioned?

 

[Steak Snabler]

We used to get an full week's pay as a bonus, but it's dropped to 80 percent the last few years. Better than most, I know, and we get to listen to the publisher tell us how we're all lucky to have jobs in exchange for our checks.

Once worked at a shop where our X-mas bonus was a $25 gift certificate to a grocery store. Was intended to be used to buy a turkey, but my buds and I pooled ours together and bought a ****load of beer ...

Lord, that would have been a recipe for disaster last week when I was 23.
