    I'm self employed so don't get a bonus as such but my clients are a fab bunch of people and, in the past, lots of them have turned up with a pressie for me. I've had wine, chocolates, gift sets....all little things I reckon i'm quite lucky compared with some of the companies some of you guys work for!

  • Feeling quite lucky as I have a good boss. For the last 2 years I have received £5000 each year. It used to be £2000, but we have had a good couple of years. This year has been on target as well so I have my fingers crossed!!!
  • As a prison officer, I get absolutely nothing from my employers, and I have to work over the festive period.

    (whatever you read in the newspapers, prison grub isn't that great - even at christmas)
    Wha's like us - damn few, an' they're a' deid

    NHS, so nothing (oh yea...job satisfaction!!!) working christmas day night, so organising games and gifts for colleagues (hoping it's not too busy)

    Congrats to those who got big bonuses (how about a good ISA?)

    No one told me last year that our Christmas bonus was cancelled, quite a dissapointment when I opened my payslip. We now get a christmas card from all the management-whoppee :j

  • We just get 15% discount instead of 10% for 2 months. But our customers are lovely and we got several big tins of chocs last year from the regulars.

    My OH does too...we can't complain really, we'd only have to give it back in council tax :rotfl:
    Total Original Debt: £30404.24

    Total Paid: £11857.74 38.95% :T
  • Two years ago we got a Xmas night out at the Hilton. We went in Jan so it was £45 a head for a party night, full xmas dinner and a stay over. The company paid for us and we had to pay for our partners. We got a few free drinks there. We also got £50 bonus which was tax deductable.
    Last year nobody wanted a party night so we got the choice of a case of wine or a bottle of spirit + the £50 tax deducatable bonus
