Hardy Pyle Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 If your self employed or don't get a bonus, no need to reply.
stevestojan Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 yes. $1,000 But the IRS should be buying me a partridge, a pear tree, and at LEAST 8 maids to do some sort of milking....
PromoTheRobot Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 My old company would give you a set of drinking glasses with the company logo. Whoop-dee-frickin' doo! They don't call it a "BONE-US" for nothing! PTR
Guest Guest Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Depending how good/bad the year goes my bonus ranges anywhere from $25-50K. Really good years stock options can add an equal amount.
Ramius Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 not us peons here in grad school...we are required to stay poor...the closest thing we get is our cost of living "increase, which comes out to something like 38 cents a paycheck raise...
PastaJoe Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 We received a free lunch and a $25 Wegmans gift card today.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I got about $150. Would have been more like $1500 had I been here before June 1. My current employer is EXTREMELY generous. They actually gave us extra days off around Xmas and NYD.
stevestojan Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 We received a free lunch and a $25 Wegmans gift card today. 160067[/snapback] Yeah, we also get some sort of "gift".... each one of us gets something that fits that person. Last year, I got a small cooler, a Willis Bobble head, and a gift certificate to ABC liquor... priorities! This year, should be something less "college party" type, as i am in the differnt dept now, but its fun to see what they come up with.,

VABills Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Depends. Has been any where from 1-10% of salary in the past. Don't think so this year, but they may surprise us.
Spiderweb Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Depends. Has been any where from 1-10% of salary in the past. Don't think so this year, but they may surprise us. 160108[/snapback] Similar numbers here. This year looks more like a 5-7% range but the final numbers haven't yet hit the books. Hopefully......
Hardy Pyle Posted December 14, 2004 Author Posted December 14, 2004 Don't include your annual bonus, or profit sharing, etc. I'm just talking Christmas bonus!
Mile High Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I get one based on work performance and numbers. Usually around 6-13% of annual income.
Alaska Darin Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 and at LEAST 8 maids to do some sort of milking.... 160052[/snapback] That's not already part of your benefits package?
aussiew Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 A pot-luck Holiday get together at my boss's beautiful home. Probably so that his new wife can show off the latest re-decorating and her latest recipes. And a $15 coupon for a Butterball turkey.
VABills Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Don't include your annual bonus, or profit sharing, etc. I'm just talking Christmas bonus! 160137[/snapback] That is. It is supposed to be individually based but here in political DC if someone gets one, everyone gets one. So they tend not to give them. Also to keep people in line they give a percent of salary, that way, noone knows what people really get.
Johnny Coli Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I got a promotion and a raise in september, so they're counting that as my bonus. Pretty lame if you ask me. They were very generous last year, though.
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 As a gov't employee, I can only except gifts of 20 bucks or less... The answer is no. There are incentive bonuses at about mid-year though. I did get a bottle of Southern Comfort that was left on the wall by a "snowbird" (yachts that stay here in the summer and head back to the Gulf for winter). Anyway, gotta clean up the garbage!
Ned Flanders Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I got a subscription to the "Jelly of the Month Club." It's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year long.
