time for my annual bah humbug Christmas Bonus thread


Dec 14, 2018, 11:03 AM

boss mcscrooge has struck again.

another year of increasing sales and another year of stagnant $

.2% of net sales is pretty fair right?

I got a $20 gift card to Brewster’s


Dec 14, 2018, 11:17 AM

Even had to pay for my own lunch at Copper River to get it so my net was about $6.38.

I srsly didn't know Christmas bonuses are a thing


Dec 14, 2018, 11:19 AM

I've never had one. Is getting one typical?

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

i don't know


Dec 14, 2018, 11:32 AM

i'm 100% commish sales. I don't get a raise, I don't get a guarantee of anything.

i think most sales jobs reward increases in sales and have incentive trips, prizes, etc to motivate the sales people to do more and better each year.

there was a universal deflation in motivation for everyone who checked their check today and got this "bonus"

the collective mentality across offices is, "whelp, they don't care about me, so I am checking out for the rest of the year"

That's better known as "undertime"***

We got nuttin'


Dec 14, 2018, 11:28 AM

We did get a $2000 a year raise to replace some incentive plan from last year so that is better in some way. We also would git a gift card. Yesterday was the luncheon and not even a peep about it.

our bonus allocation is down 10% due to Capitol Expenditures


Dec 14, 2018, 12:28 PM

We are growing so fast and increasing sales so much that we are having to buy equipment (Capitol Expenditures) and we are having to hire management (more people in the pool)


im not complaining but now our trip to the swiss alps is being cut back to ST Kitts.

I just got a nice bonus from one of my clients.


Dec 14, 2018, 12:55 PM

Him: "Need you to do some work (~3 hrs or so plus trips to UPS)in early January but I want you to bill now so I can get it in this years budget. Just bill me for 2 days of work."

Me: "Doubt it will take that long"

Him: "Merry Christmas"

Remind me in one year about this


Dec 14, 2018, 1:31 PM

New gig has me in the "bonus pool" which I am excited about. I am sure that excitement will be a distant memory when I collect my tiny bonus.

some money is always better than no money


Dec 14, 2018, 1:34 PM

Telling my guys this last year how much raise they were getting (it wasn't much percentage-wise) and had to remind them that getting any raise is better than getting some taken away.

I get $0 bonus every year.


Dec 14, 2018, 1:35 PM

So I reward myself by not working Christmas week and half of the following week.

My boss is usually pretty good about sharing the wealth when we have a good year. I'll find out next week.

Dec 14, 2018, 3:01 PM

Can you say #### in here?

Anyway, that is quite the nice bonus. I wouldn't know how to act.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Here's how it broke down


Dec 14, 2018, 3:20 PM

+ Mega bonus
- A ton went to taxes.
- A slightly less amount went to 401K.
- Some went to pay down the WIFE's credit card debt. (that one really really burned)
- Bathroom renovation and plantation shutters for the house.
- Christmas presents.
= a few bucks left for me to buy beer and concert tickets




Now I'm depressed.

That was the wife's debt. Her car payment.

Until she wants a new Yukon.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Thats why we still have a 10 year old 4runner


Dec 14, 2018, 4:06 PM

Everytime my wife says something about getting a new car, I explain to her that she's paying for it.

I imagine if that 4runner is still running when its 20 years old, and I'm still alive, we'll still own it.
