Today, my boss decided that a mug and a public 'thank you' were a sufficient substitute for a Christmas bonus. FML

At least you got that. Bonuses aren't guaranteed, and some bosses don't recognize their employees' hard work.

I got a $50 gift card and I was lucky because our company isn't in the best financial, not that it is bad but we don't have millions to give as a bonus to employees. I would have been ok with a mug instead of the gift card be thankful, not greedy.

I would have thrown the mug at his head; given him a merry concussion.

That's a bit of an extreme reaction, don't you think?

What is this "Christmas Bonus" you speak of? I have never seen one. Is it like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, where some people swear they've seen it and others keep hoping that they, too, will one day see a Christmas Bonus?

Don't worry I've never received a holiday bonus in all the years I've worked. It's never guaranteed. Be glad you have a job at least

Are you really complaining about not getting a Christmas bonus? Boo-*******-hoo. I've never worked anywhere that gave a Christmas bonus. I even spent a Christmas in Baghdad. Sorry, I'm not going to pull the violin out for you. I might call you a waambulance though. On the way to the boohoospital they'll stop at Boohoorger King and get you a waamburger and french cries to go with your whine.

Did you ever stop and think maybe your boss couldn't afford to give out Christmas bonuses?

I really don't understand why everybody feel that their boss is a grinch and a bad person for not giving out bonuses. It is not a recuirment for every business.

I don't know many people who get decent Christmas bonuses this year. Look on the bright side: At least it wasn't a year subscription to the Jelly of the Month Club.
