I voted no, but probably shouldn't have voted. Although my company doesn't give out Christmas or year-end bonuses, every year but one since I've been there the company has given out bonuses in June.

We allow everyone to return to work after the holidays, if that counts. Other than that, I have never had a job that paid a Christmas bonus.

We get a $100 gift card and a Christmas card from thecompany office (I'm a contracted consultant). I also get a performance bonus in June, based on contract renewal, so the Christmas bonus is more of a "Thanks" than an actual bonus.

Performance bonus ranges from 2-5% of annual pay, so it's a nice chunk of change, and in this day and age, a performance bonus is not an automatic at most companies, so I am very satisfied with it.

No bonus. But last year, we did get a Christmas ham. Haven't heard if we are even getting THAT this year.

Three paid holidays is good enough for me. I think I've only received one official Christmas Bonus, and it was from a cooking job at a restaurant.

Don't think I've ever gotten a bonus at Christmas. All the annual bonuses given out by various companies were timed to their fiscal year, usually in the spring.

Before Bain Capitol bought the company I retired in 2005 I use to get a bonus every year. The last one was for $10,000. And the year before it was $7,000. I worked in a warehouse I was a blue collar worker only a HS diploma. For the last 5 yrs before I retired Bain Capitol owned us and gave us a little bonus nothing worth talking about.

Yeah, our bonus is having to work Christmas day, and I mean all day.

I received token gifts at other places I worked. A $50 shop rite gift card, free xmas party, but this is the first job where I will get a bonus that will be the thousands of dollars range.
