Bonus

[bcoop]

We usually get them the day before Christmas Eve. Our company as a whole hasn't bonused since 2009, so we haven't had anything significant since then. I did receive $4000 in spiffs, but that's not really a bonus, IMO. We have a new bonus incentive plan though, and the collective pot will double each year for the next 3 years. It's very attainable and very lucrative for those who pull their weight.

We get our's in March, Jan 31 last day of the fiscal year, then bonuses.

Canada also.

Can't they split their wife's time too? At least my Canadian coworkers can. They get a year off total, and the husband can use a portion of it. So instead of teh wife taking a whole year, the they can take six months together. Or one can take 9 months, the other 3 months, etc.

Craziness.

BTW, our bonuses at work are not guaranteed and 100% discretionary (as opposed to formula based). That kind of sucks because you can kick some ass and still not hit your max. I accomplished more and worked harder last year than the previous, but last year I only got 5% and the year before I got about 14%.

Bonuses and 401k matching, a thing of the past for me. Sucks.

We were for profit and would get a nice bonus every April. This past year we were absorbed to non-profit corporate and they nixed that. We now get a quarterly bonus about a third of what we used to get. Also went from $97 a month phone allowance to $25. There was very little to no benefit for me when we went non-profit!!!

Yes and no. It's part of my total compensation package, so no different than my regular salary, except that as I said, it's not guaranteed. And from the company perspective, it is better than giving a straight raise, as it won't compound over the years.

Monthly, but it has been decreasing.. Oh well, lucky to even get one.

Got mine a week ago. One weeks pay. I won't complain.

[Chas_svo]

I like mine, but it's only like 3 months pay, and I don't get it until Mar 15.

I did accomplish a significant accomplishment this year working with another group with pre-sales on what will be a > $1B contract. It will be record setting. Pretty cool.

The only bonus/Christmas bonus I ever got was when I worked at Countrywide. We had to go see a certain person, stand in line, and wait our turn as for each person that picked-up their 5 $10 Blockbuster giftcards neatly hole-punched in the corner with a red ribbon tying them together, they had to get their name marked-off and sign as "received" on this huge clusterfuck of a 10-page stapled spreadsheet with everyone's name on it.

We had to do something similar except the lady came around to us so we could sign for our $20 Visa card.

We paid our employee bonuses on the 20th, so they had extra cash for Christmas. All of our employees get bonuses and $200 gift card to Target. They work hard for the company and we take care of them.

Got a $15 off coupon for either a turkey or a ham.
