Although I work for an uS MNC in india, they do not pay us Christmas bonus. its a pity I think.But what to do. they do not even pay bonus for the greatest festival here in India. Hope you enjoyed a lot and hope you end up buying a good laptop.

I received mine back in november and was in charge of overseeing that everyone on my floor got thiers, it is a nice feeling to be able to brighten peoples days like that. I was also able to give 10% more than I did last year which really took everyone by surprise.

My husband has worked at a very well know company that I'm sure almost everyone with a bathroom, toilet, or faucet has heard of (hint, hint). Anyhow, he has been there for 25 years and only gets 100 dollars every year for a bonus. I don't get any type of bonus at my job. Hope you enjoy your hoidays and your new laptop.

hi youless... i am sure the bonus money is very welcomed this time of the year... our company issues our annual bonus in november - it's the routine. so.. i have already used most of the monies.. some i do keep to prepare for when the school re-opens this january - school fees, books.. not much left for any Eid-ul Hajj or Christmas. merry christmas to you. peace!

My husband got his Christmas bonus last month he got $400 he has only worked at this job for 5 months we are used to him getting a $1000 as he worked for the previous company for almost 6 years so it hurt us a little. I don't get a bouns where I work.

its ok atleast $400 is big help also for this christmas but why you dont get christmas bonus you should have even little as for your doing a good job this year.

I just got my bonus yesterday. It wasn't as much as yours but it was twice what I got last year, so that was exciting for me.

We received our Christmas bonus. It was rather sad. A while back my husbands boss gave him a $100 bill so I figured Christmas bonus would be nice. It was $75 and they ran it through pay roll so taxes were taken out of it, we didn't get much! But I guess it was certainly better then nothing!
