Question Christmas bonus?

Traditionally at this time of year,employers go that extra mile to show their appreciation for a job well done.The Christmas party,the extra something in the pay packet,the bottle of wine and box of chocolates....


...........Is your boss doing the right thing this year?

The whole company is going out for lunch today and we all got a Christmas cake. I had to wrap the whole lot up. That's right 140 of them!!!! I'm now quite good at wrapping presents!!

We have a Christmas part (doing it after the first of the year so it doesn't conflict with all the other parties going on ) and we got $$ to the tune of a few K as well. Its a good holiday!

Well let's see... Last year we all got an insulated coffee cup thingy with the Waitemata Health logo on the side. The year before, I'm told that some sunscreen/zinc and presumably something else was the present - I didn't get any. Years and years back we got a christmas cake, but there have been about 3 or 4 years in the middle I got nuttin'.

I s'pose it is a very large employer, and not a profit-making company, so there isn't a lot to spend on christmas pressies for employees.

We had a christmas party at the casino near my house, and I got a bonus of $75, but I've only been there for about 6 months...

The paper industry is going down the shitter here, so the mill is barely making enough to stay open, so no bonus or anything for me this yr. Since I am on a contract basis, I usuially dont get much of a bonus anyways.

So far, no presents, I'm sure they'll give us something useless though... Soap on a rope maybe.

But, I do get 2 weeks off of work (paid), and there's always some kind of christmas party/dinner.

This years' haul........A few beers at the local rugby clubrooms,a meal voucher for the staff canteen,a travel rug,and a frisbee.

All in all, a fair try,but doesn't seem to have been organised with any thought.

There is, in all fairness, a Christmas party every year. Mine is on Thursday after work.

About bonuses, don't think I am getting one. I received one my first year in the company, when I had only been employed about two months. There was none my second year, and I was one of the only people to get one last year (perhaps the only one - though it was even smaller than the one I received my first year), for all the extra effort I put into a particularly challenging project that is so hard to finish on time. This year I was able to take the project start to finish, and was almost 100% on-time - a distinct improvement over the way the project had been handled historically in the eyes of the VPs. I put in a hell of an effort, and frankly I am going to be one pissed off camper if I don't get a bonus!
