Hellobee Boards

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!!!!!!!

Nope. I got 1% last year but this year we have a new ED and some financial problems. No Christmas party either!

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.

I did get a 5% raise though! I think because I'm the only staff member not planning on quitting, haha.

@locavore_mama: wow what a great surprise! Congrats!

We get raises in November (if enrollment numbers are good) so everyone got a $xxx raise.

@locavore_mama: that's so great!

@locavore_mama: That's awesome!

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!

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.

@locavore_mama: that is so awesome. Congrats!!

Yep, but it was extremely small. We also get quarterly bonuses that are better!

Ha. No.

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.

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!

@Mrs. Lion: you win!
