DH got his usual free ham for Christmas, plus got paid overtime for like the first time ever (he's consistently working about five hours extra a week at the moment) - I hope that continues for as long as he keeps having to work overtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1295211 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:51:28 +0000 indi 1295211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a small bonus from the firm in my Christmas card, but my boss wrote out a generous personal check the second year in a row now in his Christmas card to me. I was almost crying to DH when I called him to tell him I received it again! It's only 1% of my salary, but dang, it's a personal check! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1295188 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:23:13 +0000 Springtime 1295188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a $400 Christmas bonus, but no year end bonus! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1295075 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 20:27:01 +0000 artsyfartsy 1295075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha. No.</p> <p>I used to work at a grocery store as a cashier when I was a teen and we all got $50 gift cards to the store every year for Christmas. We were all thrilled because we all ate lunch and snacks there so we basically got some free food for a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1295008 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 19:19:05 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1295008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started sleeping through the night! As a SAHM thats the best bonus i could possibly get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1295005 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 19:12:14 +0000 yellowbird 1295005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, but it was extremely small. We also get quarterly bonuses that are better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294931 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:16:54 +0000 MrsKoala 1294931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No bonus here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294913 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:05:00 +0000 LovelyPlum 1294913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: that is so awesome.

He'll be deploying in March and they got his bonus to him last Friday, taxed heavily. If they'd have sent it after he deployed there'd be no tax, I was a little miffed about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294812 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:15:08 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1294812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't get them, but being in sales we have a huge promotion at the end of November and cash prizes are up for grabs. This year I won $250 cash and a $200 gift card to a local store. Not too bad! But some people get none and some get almost $1,000. DH gets one in January, but can't remember how much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294809 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:13:38 +0000 bpcmarj 1294809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a $50 gift card from our PTA and a sausage, cheese, and mustard gift box from the executive director. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294718 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:21:18 +0000 dojo 1294718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: That's awesome! :grin: </p> <p>We don't... but DH does. I'm always jealous! The only job I ever got one was my first real job out of college at a real estate company and I was shocked and delighted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294715 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:19:21 +0000 Mrs. Chipmunk 1294715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my company gives their "year end bonuses" in like march, when they've figured out if they made money or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294713 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:15:28 +0000 sandy 1294713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: that's so great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294699 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:05:40 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1294699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - I was so surprised! I worked here for about 9 months - I definitely didn't expect it because I never got one at my old job that I was with for 6 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294682 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:55:10 +0000 cmomma17 1294682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: wow what a great surprise! Congrats! </p> <p>We get raises in November (if enrollment numbers are good) so everyone got a $xxx raise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294671 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:52:15 +0000 Littlebit 1294671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get my annual bonus in April, so no. My husband had been getting a Christmas bonus up until 2 or 3 years ago...then they just stopped :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294634 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:36:26 +0000 jedeve 1294634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I got 1% last year but this year we have a new ED and some financial problems. No Christmas party either! :-/ </p> <p>I don't think DH will get one either. They give bonuses based on how much money they've brought into the firm and his big case hasn't wrapped up yet. Plus they are having financial problems too. </p> <p>I did get a 5% raise though! I think because I'm the only staff member not planning on quitting, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294474 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:44:31 +0000 chibee 1294474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - we get a percentage of our salary depending on the number of years you've been there. And my bosses all give me Christmas "gifts" - various amounts of money. Every little bit helps this time of the year, usually I end up spending the gifts from my bosses on gifts for other people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294455 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:36:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 1294455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m not sure if they usually do, to be honest – I’ve only been here 2 months. But, I did just receive 2 awards for a project I’m spearheading: 1 extra day of PTO and also got points to redeem at the internal store. I thought that would mean like a travel mug or something but boy was I wrong! In the “beauty” section, I have enough points already for a Clairsonic Aria or Mia (the whole system), Dr. Perricone, MD cold plasma, anti-aging and skincare stuff (which are $$$$$$$$$!), a new Chi flat iron or other nice things. I was/am floored!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294438 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:29:14 +0000 chopsuey 1294438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awww. glad you got a bonus!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus/page/2#post-1294435 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:27:48 +0000 regberadaisy 1294435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: ha!

My parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus#post-1294418 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:20:58 +0000 mediagirl 1294418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Neither of us do. His company used to do 10% of your salary to your 401k every year but they cut that out a few years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus#post-1294414 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:19:53 +0000 LC 1294414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, never have at my current employer. In fact, we just got an email from our exec praising us on all our accomplishments this year and saying we should celebrate by helping those less fortunate and volunteering at a food bank one day next month. Now, I'm all for helping those that are less fortunate, but I'm guess a little insulted that she's trying to spin volunteering as a reward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus#post-1294411 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:19:04 +0000 hilsy85 1294411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: yay!! go you!</p> <p>DH got one but unfortunately we'll only see a third of it (and that's before taxes, boo!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus#post-1294403 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:15:54 +0000 regberadaisy 1294403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: ah-mazing!</p> <p>@thismustbetheplace: that's messed up. :(</p> <p>@MrsTiz: for some reason I thought you worked for family? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus#post-1294357 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 13:47:34 +0000 BananaPancakes 1294357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Awesome!!</p> <p>And nope. We haven't gotten one for the past 4 or 5 years. Basically since the construction industry took a dump in Florida. But I don't expect it and it was nice while it lasted. I don't know many people who do get them anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-recieve-a-end-of-year-bonus#post-1294332 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 13:28:14 +0000 MrsTiz 1294332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, DH &amp; I got ours last week. They're nothing incredible, but they are appreciated! </p>
