The bossies are pretty good to us here--not a Grinch in the lot. The first year I was here I got a nice but modest bonus (which after taxes amounted to about $350 I think). Last year, profits were down so we were lucky to get anything  but the principals gave up their bonuses so the office staff could at least have a "little something." This year, however, we were told the outlook is good. I don't know HOW good, though. I'm a teensy bit on edge cuz I can't finish my Christmas shopping 'til I get my bonus and that's usually at the last minute (sigh...does anyone get theirs EARLY?). I shouldn't complain, though--especially after reading the other responses!  We get Christmas Day & New Year's Day off and that is all, except everyone usually takes some vacation time. We also had a LOT of activities this year, though--including a company-paid trip to Leavenworth, a party tomorrow night for which we have some Excellent entertainment lined up, a kids' Santa party, "pod" decorating contest, Secret Santas and a potluck.   Seems I have been working as hard on Christmas this year as I have on work--at least it is fun!
