Well, i didnt received my christmas bonus yet. And i guess, there is nothing i could expect from our company to release such kind of money.
Every company all over the world is experiencing a global crisis. I know how hard it is. Like a lot of debt that cant pay just because of too many receivables also.
I just wish i had so i can go shopping even a little. But unfortunately, there is none... So better stay at home.
Fellows, did you receive your christmas bonus? or you are just like me here, nothing but just a greetings of "merry christmas".

I feel the same as you. I wish these fat cat companies would share the wealth and give us a little bit of money as a bonus. Some companies are doing good and aren't seeing bad times. Kind of like Wal Mart. I have multiple friends and family that work at Wal Mart and they said they are still doing great business. Also, Quad Graphics are in the clear too so there are any companies that could give their employees some compensation for their hard work.

I didn't get one as I am a stay at home mom. LOL However, my husband did receive a Christmas bonus, which was unexpected as things are very slow in his line of work. Okay, so it was smaller this time around (it would have normally been for a larger sum of money), but at this point my husband and I are just happy he got something at all.

Our company is a small one , we were also experiencing global crisis for the year 2008 because we have many forced lay offs because of no production of stocks but we are blessed for the reason that the company still gave us our 13th month pay and a bonus. We were not expecting anything from them but they are still kind enough to give us some and it became a wonderful Christmas for everyone of us.

I will be getting mine wednesday in with the check at work. We have to work 7am til 1pm then we close. They told us it would be in the check so that's cool on how much they gave not sure it's the thought that counts. Yes most people won't be getting one for like you said the global economy is hurting and companies can't aford to do extra. I do hope all have a good christmas and newyear.
