Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses?

Posted by michael on from the lump-of-coal dept.

A wisely anonymous reader writes "Following my company's Christmas party on Friday, I found myself the proud recipient of... a bobble head doll of the company CEO! Needless to say I was PISSED. They didn't even comp. parking at the site of the party, let alone a bonus. yeah, yeah, times are tough. I should be happy just to have a job. but getting a damn doll of the guy who made 65 million last year just makes me angry. So... What did you get from your Company for Christmas?"

  1. Hmm...No Bonus? by da_Den_man · · Score: 2, Redundant

    I would say you are overlooking the one single fact that has been brought up time and again in this forum so far (so mod me down for Redundancy):

    You get your 'bonus' everytime you get paid.

    You get your 'bonus' everytime you can take a day off from work because you are sick...knowing you can just chalk it up to 'sick leave' and still get paid for that day

    Your bonus is not having to worry about anything breaking because you don't know where the money would come from to fix it, or when it would even BE fixed.

    Your 'bonus' is knowing that on Monday, you get to go to work.

    I will trade you in a minute for your bonus...if it comes with a real job.

    It did not relate the the product of the company, and it likely hurt the company's ability to retain employees.

    Oh YEAH? How do you know his company doesn't make bobble-head dolls? :)

    Were you born that fucking stupid or did you have to work on it?

    I have to work on it. :-)

    Now until the world becomes a better place for your kind, get back down there and suck it!

    OK dude. Thanks for the advice.
