NO. the company I work for thinks it is better to have the money on the books than have happy employees.
There is no christmas lunch or dinner, no christmas party at all, and no christmas bonus either..... So next time you see that Overhead Door logo as you walk into a building, think of the people that worked to put it there, because we don't get shit from our employer. And I don't work for some distributor either, I work for the corporate head office, so that really does tell you the kind of company it is!

Well, lets see then,
my team got to go out for dinner and pay for yourself - but hey, the wine was free! Theresa Gattung sent us all a Team NZ cap with a postcard wishing us all happy holidays. Atleast I got something this year, last year it was strawberries dipped in chocolate and a glass of bubbly!!

Tomorrow night we're having an Xmas party. Right in the middle of my shift.
Bonus?? I don't know. Last year I got $50, that was back before they "let go" my good manager.

My Christmas bonus was the lack of work.
I've been layed off for the next month. So I'm out looking for another job. (what places are good for an almost 18 year old to work at?). I might just not turn up too my old job, to smite the boss. As I have no contract. sarujin

AMEN TO FREAKRAY. We never get shit either, we just get reminded that we are lucky to have a job, and yet there are certain people here that are first inline to donate for the boss's gift. Mayby they get something but I have been here for three years. Nothing, no 401k contribution, no cash, no party, no dinner, no ham, and the benifits suck to. I guess we could consider that our xmas bonus this year is the fact that our health insurance raised by 33%. For my fam that translated to an extra 250. a month that starts jan 1 03.

From various employers in the past:
A very nice swiss army knife. Cash  Dinner at one of Aucklands most expensive resturants. (there were no prices on the menus  )The guy I drive the truck for has twice left a large wad of extra cash and bottle of Burbon or Vodka in the truck. I sort of expect something similar this year.

Update, just got back from the x-mas party and they give everybody an envelope that has a coupon for free services (no not that kind) at a local establishment. Some people got free facials, $50 at Lowe's, DVD player, etc. I got $150 to a local car audio shop.
  :flash: :sun: :licker: And it just so happens I desperately need tint for my car!! Unfortunately, so does my boyfriend, so he is desperately sucking up to me right now. Hopefully the $150 will cover at least one car and we'll get both done at once.

Just found out we've got a "gift" giveaway on friday. No idea what the gifts are likely to be, but they say some of them are very nice... I've seen them give out DVD players and the like in the past...
Last year, they gave us a very nice leather back-pack, and inside was a windbreaker, T-shirt, Hat, Swiss Army knife/Mini Maglite combo, lighted bouncy-balls, and some bean-bag juggling balls all with the company logo on them.... Not everyone will get a prez. this year, but we'll see. Also just found out that a buddy of mine who started working here a week after I did got laid off today (along with several others), so he'll get a VERY nice severence package... I'm expecting to have my turn in the bread-line in a few months. CHA CHING!

Yep. I just wish I knew who got the "Queen for a day" package to the local spa.
My coworker got a combo DVD/VCR player by Sony. Pretty nice.
