Bonus

Delicious fattening chocolate chip cookies, numerous varieties, people bring in to the station, and the smile that goes along with the cookies is great.

Hell its a bonus in my job to not be told your an a#&%$(e. A mere sneer is a good day in my job, thank you.

I know how much I made my old boss and he repaid me by laying me off then when they got more work they hired another for less money per-hour. No bonus and a kick in the balls at the same time

I got a $40 gift card for Stop & Shop. The best I ever got was $600 from another shop. So while this company kinda sucks with their bonuses, I'm not gonna complain because I've worked places where you get zilch. Take what ya can get.

my company doesn't give bonuses until you've been there over a year and a half, which I miss by about 2 weeks this year. its a civil engineering firm though so I'm only missing out on a couple hundred.

This year I got $200 to Amazon.com for Christmas. Next year will be $1500, the next $2000, the next $2500, and, after that, profit sharing. Oh, and the other day I got a call from the reimbursement lady, and she told me that I'm entitled to $81 in food costs for a drive down to VA and back. She called me to tell me that they could give me more money?! Also, there's a bonus program, calculated quarterly, where you can get a bonus of up to $100/sea day (about 12 per month...that's a possible $14400!). I'm still waiting for the punchline.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
