    First company I've ever worked for without set bonuses for all the salaried staff; a utility no less. But the gas profits were down due to an unusually mild winter, they just divested some unprofitable assets and they still have to pay dividends. I used to just clear out all the credit cards, but eventually just started spending less and put it into the Fidelity account to supplement the monthlies.

    No bonus in the main job but got a new book contract -- smallish advance, saved most of it but I'm surprising Mrs. B-Bob with an iPad for Xmas and we're doing some larger than normal year-end charity. Bunch of commie organizations, natch.

    Not even sure if I will get one or not, company and boss have been silent on the subject. I'm assuming not getting one, but my stock grants will vest in February. I plan on cashing those out and just saving the cash in order to pad the "oh ****, just in case" fund.

    Get ours in February. It will be used to pay property taxes for my rent house and the rest goes to our emergency fund.

    Lame, I know.

    Don't get mine until March, so I have to be vigilant that my wife doesn't spend it 3 times before the check even clears.

    My end of year bonus (if I even get it) is small. I'll probably take the wife out on a date or something.

    Sounds like some decent bonuses out there. Hopefully I'll get good news soon. Last year my company paid out 152% of target. I only started here in February of 2016, so I don't know what to expect.

    An annual bonus is cool...unless your company uses it in lieu of an annual raise....

    No Christmas bonus here. Eligible for an annual 20% bonus based on a fiscal calendar that ends March 31. The bonus shows up on our paycheck in June.
