    A place I used to work for gave us a thank you note and a bag of chocolates one year. That same year everyone in management, who was also family, bought themselves luxury vehicles. Nepotism and greed at its best.

    We do an annual bonus in March based in part on our performance against Plan. It'd be pretty useful to get it in December instead.

    Shouldn't they adjust their unrealistic profit goals?

    GF works at a Dental Office, and they were told all this time they'll get one for Christmas, and that no requesting time off in December to receive any of it.

    They were told this morning they aren't getting one, or any pay over xmas.

    We got about 1% this year. My first year at a company that gives bonuses, which was nice.

    Not officially, but I've received one the last two years and will raise hell if I don't get one this year.

    Wow are you my coworker? Sounds exactly like the company I work for. Anyways, cheers to us for putting up with the BS.

    2014 should be a ridiculous year for us so I am actually somewhat hopeful we will be put back on an incentive program.

    Current and just previous corp do it in March and then raises whenever. Old company timed it around Christmas along with raises. The hitch was that annual reviews, both the team reviews and then management revisions, were due by September: so you were getting judged on eight months of work.

    If we steal from our company does that count as a bonus?

    April annual bonus. Can't wait.

    Our Christmas bonus is getting off at 2pm on Christmas Eve (if workload allows).
