AIBU are you getting any christmas bonus this year ?

[LidiaM]

hi. just wonder if anyone is getting a christmas bonus from the company you work for ? if So ? how much
we are so tight this month and my husband has been told few months ago that this year he would expect a christmas bonus, I have no idea whato to expect , whether it can be a simple £20 or more ??

I don't have a target, so no.

Nothing. And on top of that we've been told that the building will close at 3pm and we'll be expected to make up any time...

Got a gift from my boss but bought out of his own pocket.

Have never had a bonus as I've always worked in the Public Sector

NHS here - in our Trust all staff get a Christmas dinner free in the canteen which is lovely, a tub of chocs for each speciality/department to share and just received a £50 gift card for CQC rating of outstanding for second year running

I realise how lucky I am as a public sector worker.

My Consultant is very generous - a cheque, John Lewis gift set and a bottle of bubbly

My boss bought a mince pie 😂

I got a £7,500 annual bonus linked to performance this year, it was paid at the end of November so that was nice just before Christmas

We also get Christmas Eve off this year without needing to take it off as holiday, I always have around 21st Dec - 2nd Jan off anyway but it was nice to essentially gain an 'extra' holiday day this year.

Managers usually buy a bottle of wine for their staff. This year, a staff member has had a bereavement so they are donating to the relevant charity instead.

I work in a school , we have delivered a Xmas toy sack and a food bank parcel. We sent a letter to all parents to donate to the food bank rather than buy for staff gifts. I would love a Xmas bonus

I work for a tiny company (boss and 5 employees). I earn £32k pro-rata and if last year is anything to go by will get £200 in cash for my Christmas bonus.

Bugger all

I got a £40 voucher from a farm shop (random?!)

Nowt. Public sector. OH gets a bottle of champagne.

Nope

Nope.
I’ve taken much less than my employees in wages.
If brexit doesn’t sort it out then my staff can look forward to job hunting in the new year.

I get a months salary as a bonus in January. Yay.

Nothing. £10 voucher that my boss paid for herself. We pay for our Christmas do and might get a couple of bottles of wine for the table paid for by the consultant in charge of our department. I'm in the NHS and I gave up private sector with bonuses for public sector job security.

We got a bag of tat from a company that has won various awards for the best nursing home in our part of the country!! All hard working staff are massively pissed off ...the office staff had a meal out plus hamper!! Have suggested that as long as the residents are well looked after , the staff stop being so bloody accomadating with covering for sick leave and change of rota!!

Higher education. Not a bean. Not even a sweetie from my boss. I buy a wee thing for each of my team of 14, but she won’t get something for the 3 of her senior managers.
She’s a terrible boss at the best of times, anyway.

Box of chocolates

Very lucky here ....
£3000. , weekend away at a plush hotel for Xmas get away ... case of champagne 🍾 Fortnum and Mason hamper .case of red and white wine .... dinner and night at a musical , special lunch x 2...
2 bottles of gin , one whisky and 3 large boxes of Thorntons ...

I don’t drink 😂
So tend to throw Cmas parties 🎉 to use it up

Oh and Yoga 🧘‍♀️ clothes and a new mat from my team

Yes, about £450 after deductions.

A meal out drinks not included

I bloody wish! And we pay for our own 'do'.

DH gets around £600 in John Lewis vouchers every year, party and Christmas breakfast. About 6-7k bonus before tax too but doesn't receive it until early spring.
He works hard for a decent company who treat all staff very well. The bonus is different of course but all staff including cleaning/maintenance/security staff receive the same amount in John Lewis vouchers.
