        I used to work for a Company that gave an employee wide Christmas bonus. One year, it was $1,000 per employee, other years it was $500-750.

        Definitely very generous on behalf of the owners.

        With that said, there were negatives as well. Some employees began to "expect" it as compared to understanding that it truly was just a discretionary benefit. Some always complained about the amount. The other thing that used to rub me the wrong way is some employees liked to complain about merit increases and base salaries, yet always seemed to conveniently forget about the Christmas bonus received.

        If I owned a Company, I probably wouldn't do it. I'd rather base bonuses/incentives off of work milestones, accomplishments, goals, etc.

            Gotcha beat, I've got a lifetime membership.

            Been at my job 31 years and I think I've gotten 2 Christmas cards and 1 $50 Lowes gift card in all those years.

                No bonuses here, but I can’t complain at all.

                    I just bought the 4 sergeants that work for me gift cards to Spec's Liquors.

                    And when I got assigned to this job I gave up my parking spot to the Homicide Unit employee of the month. Other than that... Government jobs suck for bonuses.

                        I make a point to give my guys a bonus every year, but it’s never enough and very under appreciated. Still, it makes me feel better knowing I tried.

                              When I worked at city hall we would get a Christmas party with gifts and a $25 gift card. At a family owned John Deere store I worked at our Christmas bonus was whatever our biggest pay check of the year they would match it and a party. In Wind Energy bonuses are a usually given around March and it could be substantial depending on position. Anywhere from $500-$20000+.
