I worked for a company that had a policy that you had to be with the company for at least 3 months to be eligible for the end of year bonus. They brought everyone in the office team by team to resign our contracts "digitally" to just "update paperwork" in late November. Then when nobody got bonuses and we had record high production that year, we collectively asked upper management about our bonuses that we had all earned and the whole plant was told that because all our contracts were only 2 months old we didn't qualify for bonuses. Half the plant walked out.

My end of year bonus? I get to work again next year.

I had one boss tell us there wasn't any money for a bonus and gave us a 15 dollar ham instead, the next day the owner wanted to show me his new hunting Truck. I quit on the spot and he didn't understand

As a public school teacher of over twenty-five years, not only have I never received a bonus. As a matter of fact, the latest administration dictate is that teachers may not accept any gifts from parents, no matter how low priced. No coffee cards, no homemade jams, no mugs, zippo. Imagine how parents feel when you turn their kindness away. It is just incomprehensible.

Here in the Netherlands you would have received a present each year, like all employees do. I even got them from the companies I did temp work for. Not giving a yearly present/bonus is highly unusual. It never happened to me in the 28 years of work, and everyone I know gets it.

@sanderdeboer6034

I checked and in the Netherlands teachers are allowed to take small low value presents. The policy is that in general it is better not to take them because it can lead to problems staying independent. For example when giving the indication of the level of secondary education. However in the same policy they state that sometimes refusing a gift can also be wrong because it would feel disrespectful to the parents. So it is up to the teacher to determine accepting it or not. Up until 2020 public teachers were officially government workers and were not allowed to take presents worth more than 50 euros. Now it depends on the policy of the local school. But homemade stuff is usually acceptable, except if the parent is a jeweler or gold smith themselves I guess.

I worked for a company, where they looked for some product for nearly 2 months in the warehouse before they cycled out the product. This product to make, cost the company over $300k. Retail value of this stuff was over $1.2M. They finished cycling it out, when I printed out my cycle count for the day. I found the product ONE slot over in the racking, to where it should have been (before they cycled it out). So I saved the company all this money and nearly 2 months of work to replace it, and I got a $30 Starbucks gift card .. and I don't even drink coffee.

Who cares that the workers who bust their asses to make them rich beyond all imagination are starving? Can't afford housing, a vehicle, clothes or food (unless they work 2-3 jobs.) Because, as they raise the prices on their goods, our paychecks remain pretty much the same. Sometimes, a measly raise puts a worker in a higher tax bracket so they actually take home LESS! But you know - as long as those CEOs have that pile of money that they can't possibly spend in ten lifetimes, who cares? We should rename this country 'The Greedy States of America.'

Certain denominations spend 0, zero on charity or outreach. Yet , they pay no taxes. The US has allowed corporations to take over DC....money buys re-election bids, and ads.

Behind the scenes, employees are manipulated, verbally and sexually assaulted, discriminated against, the works. The company received PPP loans totaling over $1 million. Employees saw hardly any, maybe $250 each, and then the loans were forgiven. The kicker is that the loans were granted and forgiven through a bank that one of the 2 owners is a board member of. They fired me the day after xmas once they realized I had the drop on them. Never been verbally warned, written up, suspended, etc. Just came in, and they said that they've decided to let me go. They know I'm too poor to get a lawyer.

What do you need a lawyer for?

Worked for a natural gas and propane corp in virginia for almost 15 years and we in fact got a ham for a christmas bonus and not even a good one at that and the company thought that was a big deal and would send out emails talking about our great ham christmas bonus....i would leave mine in the breakroom refrigerator till it started stinking up the place every year too just to piss them off....shout out to Northern neck gas and joe hudnal for being a fat piece of $hit

I worked in an ambulance service doing BLS and Critical Care transport, we used to get a bonus for safety along with year end gift. It would total like $500, but then now they just throw a company party and give us jack shit. I got a turkey in 2021 the size of a midget.

If they really want to donate to charity, they should take that money away from their own paychecks, not their enployees'.

I got a $5 Starbucks gift card.

Go in together with a buddy and you can split a coffee.

Corporations are evil. Period. I recently had my yearly review and got a raise (13 cents) I was tempted to tell the company to keep it since they obviously need it more than I do. I haven't had a raise that small since the '80s. Get this: I'm actually a very valued worker, so I hate to see what other people got.

We got frozen turkeys as a christmas bonus. We weld parts for toyota in our province. They got upwards of $7000 for their bonus. It was quite the slap in the face
