In my first place (many years ago) it was, new boss does a tour of the department just before xmas and then the next week gives 20% the push. So our xmas bonus was that we got to keep our jobs.

Were I am now is considerably different.

That's what you get for being self employed.

Hmm, working for a rising sun company there are some words there I don't recognise.

'christmas' 'bonus' 'thank you' what do they mean.

Dinner means minging breath from seaweed and raw fish. Yummy...

I got an email. [we need a sarcasm emoticon]

My last employer gave £50 in M&S vouchers and a bottle of wine at Christmas. I get a 15% higher salary here. Overall I'm better off.

My Christmas bonus came early, my MD fuct off to his villa a week early, left me a £250 bonus too.

I never did manage to give out all the Christmas goodies to the customers (some dull arse over ordered ) so I have a few bottles of Baileys, Smirnoff and a tin of Roses left over, plus the goodies given to me by my suppliers

I only work for a small garage but last year I got a boilersuit with £140 in it.
If it gets organised (and it sometimes doesnt) we go karting with the lads from another small place.

I got a £5 credit voucher, and that's it. I don't even know how to use the bloody thing as it's some kind of bond! Merry Bloody Humbug to you all.
