we are given the choice between a) a bottle of moderately-priced pinot noir b) a turkey c) a 'gift basket'. i chose the gift basket, just because i'm intrigued by what lame crap they're going to stuff it with.
on a side note: what's up with all the turkey-giving? i mean, if you wrapped a turkey and gave it to your sister for christmas she'd think you'd lost your mind.

What the hell are ya'll talkin about?? What is this word Bonus?? Lets check Websters: Bonus-something in addition to what is expected or strictly due.
Ohhhh,
Well in that case I am getting longer hours/same pay as a bonus, guess my company likes me more than your employers

WELL... I work for a fairly small family owned company here in the ghetto of DETROIT. THEY'RE barley keeping the doors open so ...Like Paul n Stewie for the new year I get to keep my job and have no cash or benni's taken away. I have the best work record of anyone here INCLUDING the family ! I've been here going on 18 years and only missed 1 day of scheduled work . and THEN i was in the hospital TRYING to get here to work . Another time i had a slip n fall on the ice and broke my wrist on the WAY to work and WAITED till morning to go to the hospital to get it set . BOY was that fun, it was my writing hand, so i had to learn to write with my left REAL QUICK ! including wiping my a** with my left , think im kidding? try using the oppisite hand , it just aint natural ! 2 days after i broke my wrist , the boss's came to me and said" pork , ya know what? its sad that youve been writing with your left 2 nites and your writing is better than any of the drivers ALREADY !"( i work in he office and do ALL the paperwork that doesnt get done during the day shift ) ACTUALLY... Im a BIG guy,so learning to wipe with my left was HARDER than learnin to WRITE ! MAYBE ... we'll get a card with 50$, but I'm not expecting it ! times r real slow here

Nothing..I work for the Government. We go out to lunch and have a departmental Christmas party (this year it is called a "Festive Season party") and we pay our own bill. I have worked for the Gov't for 18 years and have never received a bonus. Can't complain though, it is a good job with good benefits...

Well, I'm a contractor for a water & electric company here in phoenix... The company that cuts my pay check is throwing a cheesy "Christmas party" with Pizza and soda, and the owners brother dresses up as Santa.
the company i actually work for is catering dinner for us and gave us a $50 Visa gift card. My boss gave out a gift pack from a local movie theater chain (2 tickets, shirt, 32 ounce cup that gives you free soda refills for the year)

I get no days off, no bonus, no turkey.
We will be having a nice Xmas party on Sydney Harbour with all the beer/wine/spirits you can drink though, which always makes for an entertaining evening.

At the rate my boss is pissing off people, he is gonna wind up getting an ass kicking by a disgruntled driver for Christmas.

One of our delivery guys about took a swing at him today. He's not a bad guy really, just speaks without thinking first.
