Workers were so used to receiving Christmas bonuses!

That they made a movie about how ridiculous it would be to not receive one!


I have family that lives abroad, and they all still get the Christmas bonus!

Me and my husband didnt get ours this year. Mine will come in January, but we're all annoyed at work as a big deal was made about it being ready for last week.

Anywho... good job we got gifts earlier in the year.

I worked in a restaurant where we were closed from approximately December 24 to January 2, no paycheck, and our Christmas bonus was $10.

Last place I worked for, we got a cheezy christmas party that catered in horrible food AND typically a shirt and a cup with the company logo plastered on it.

I generously donated those things to Goodwill or a fellow worker.
@HoeBag in the 80s, my parents were union workers. I remember Christmas parties where Santa would come, and give each kid a gift. They would have a big buffet spread for everyone. And they all got Christmas bonuses!

@Notmesam Company I worked for was NOT broke by any stretch, even though they ACT like they don't have two nickels to rub together. The christmas parties and gifts were an embarrassment.

The "buffet" looked like buckets of b4rf, stuff that we would feel bad for feeding our pets.

The president of a company I worked for said to me in conversation employees are just another commodity. This was over a discussion about lay offs.

Before the age of layoffs kicked off in the 80s where companies realized they can make money by constantly shedding staff there was this notion of company loyalty back to the workers. That is -gone-.
@CountScrofula They don’t want loyalty, they want easily replaceable employees.

@Notmesam Yep exactly.
