Log onto the company website and it's all xmas themed, with a link to this as a thank you for all the work we've done this year, through the trying times of the airline industry, yadda yadda yadda, yet still moved over 20 million this year

People get X-mas bonuses?

I've never seen one...I thought that was just a plot device for movies.

With Zannon on that.

The only Xmas bonus I've ever received came from the poorest company I've ever worked for.

Me too. Lucky for me I still work there.

I thought X-mas bonus was as real as Santa himself. Something they glorify in stories and books but doesn't actually exist.

The closest thing I got to bonus was getting Monday off (and finding out Monday morning to boot). Then again its a bonus to me that I have a JOB!

Not really a bonus, though a lot of us thought of it as, but right around Christmas over in South Korea we found out about a week before New Year's Day that our paychecks would no longer be taxed since they were considering S. Korea a deployment assignment for some reason. For an E-4 like me that meant that I was going to bank $1200, roughly, a month instead of the $800 after taxes. (Hope my math is right) Pay Grades have changed a little since 2000-2001 as well though.

haven't you had the last two weeks off with pay?

that's a bonus in my book, even if it wasn't paid

Yeah. One week was because they owed us the holidays that fell on weekends this year, so they lumped them into the week between Xmas and New Years (we had like 3 holidays off all year), and the other week was the last of my vacation time.

So no, not really an Xmas bonus. Just time I had coming.

Let me guess. Where you work X'an all the toilets, even the employee toilets, are pay toliets?

Ha! Not quite. I used to think we have it great where I work, but then I found out what the EA folks get.

"They" yammer on about bonuses and how we need to work extra hard to meet the ever higher, year by year, demands so that we can get a part of those bonuses. We meet the demands or exceed them. Who gets the bonuses? "They" do. [color]

I just found out that I got a Christmas bonus on my latest paycheck. :) It was small but it was nice. Also I discovered that I received a fairly large raise this holiday season from the summer....so I'm pleased overall.

Better than a sharp poke in the eye, as my Dad said.
