Default Does your employer give out Christmas bonuses?

Just wondering?

My current employer been doing so for over a 100 years and our bonus is performance driven not how much seniority you have. My employer says it's what's fair cause the young guns are trying hard and some successed in saving the company money while the old timers don't seem to even bother anymore and are just floating by. It's not odd that a guy like me (5 years w/ company) can earn triple to quadruple the bonus of what the Shop Forman gets (34 years w/ company). Last year my boss gave me $1,018 bonus this year $8,616 (couldn't believe it can go that high), Guess it actually does pay off to work hard.

I work at a small family owned & ran industrial/construction electrical company and we only have 18 employees not counting the owner and his wife.

I'm sure bonuses are smaller or if any working for a major corporation where you're just a number but I could be wrong.

My current employer pays anyone there a year or longer $1,000. Under a year it's prorated. My previous employer have $500 across the board. I'm thinking it's gonna stop soon though if the oil field doesn't pick up soon!

Comcast had (maybe still has) an unused sick leave buyback that was given in November. Then there was a bonus program that paid in the spring.

Charter has none, zip, nada.

At least we get free cable & internet

We get quarterly bonuses and profit sharing matches. Every Christmas the company gives out decorative Nutcrackers with $100 hidden in it. So I guess yes we do get a Christmas bonus.
