Christmas Bonus.
As its that time of year will your employer be giving you a Christmas bonus and if so what will you get or what is your expectation.
I wonder if you will be as lucky as these UK workers

BTW my bonus will be the same as every year a thank you email

Sick pay, 3 days, that's it. And accumulated holiday pay. As I don't take holiday pay when on holiday.

Re: Christmas Bonus.
I've never had a Xmas bonus at any place I have worked at so a bacon butty would certainly be a step up

Expectation: nothing. I work for a miserable bastard of a boss. At least I'll get sh*t faced at the office party.

We get a box of candy to share around the staff from Head Office. A nice gesture.

I will be giving myself a nice bottle of wine. After the year I've had, I deserve a bonus.

The usual nothing. Not even had a payrise for 2 years now, so that's an effective 10% paycut over the period.

Re: Christmas Bonus.
I've been at five different companies now and never gotten a Christmas bonus. Is this actually still I thing, I don't hear of it happening much anymore.
