What does everyone get for a Christmas Bonus

**blackSS01** · 12-16-2010, 04:05 PM

Like the title states. I just got my bonus today and it isn't too shabby in my eyes

I received 3 paid hours and $125 in clean crisp bills along with my pick of Christmas Eve or Christmas Day off. I'm pleased with this

Most companies don't have Christmas bonuses here. We however recieved $50 cash each for our xmas party, $50 voucher and a sports drink bottle

, but better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick...

That isn't a bad bonus, last year I got $100 and that was it. I hit the 3 year mark this year so I guess it was either a good year or the higher up you go, the more you get

Alot!

I have never had a company be so generous.

The way we see it is that the voucher can be used at the liquor shop, and we can fill our shiny new drink bottle with booze and roll up for work...

This is a hard time of the year for us. Summer means 40C+ most days (104F+), and where I work smelting aluminium you can almost double the ambient air temperature when working on the pot slabs. The company also lets us work 8hrs on xmas day instead of 12, so that's another bonus I suppose...
