Did work get you a Xmas gift?

Looks like I've been given the gift of working either side of the Christmas weekend, so no break over the holiday period despite the department I support not being on site during this time.

Nice to be informed the week before :rolleyes:

Until this year it's always been the worst kept secret that we finish at 1400 on the last day before Christmas eve/Christmas eve. Always been a "It'll be confirmed on the morning", they actually gave us 2 weeks notice this year :eek:

I remember some years ago when we had a notices put up around 6 weeks before Christmas saying we be finishing at around 12.00 on both Christmas eve & new year eve..

Boss came in on both them days in a very bad mood and made everyone work till 6pm :mad:
 
We got 2 company days off given but only told last week after communications to clients about availability had already gone out so not everyone can actually take it off…also received about £5 worth of chocolates today which probably cost another £5 to send.

Not their most generous this year…
 
- All staff get xmas eve half day for free. i.e. Does not come out your holiday allowance.
- Usually get hampers/vouchers depending on how the business has done that year.
- Work xmas party (all staff) with prizes and what not.
- We get X amount per head where you can go out in your teams for an xmas dinner.
- This year there is talk of getting a small cost of living payment bonus
- Yes we get a christmas card
- Office closes for 2 weeks in December where we can only work remotely
- Nobody works xmas day/boxing day/new years. All staff get bank hols off.
 
Well, my work is sending me something today so I can see what I get compared with my OP last year. :)

To be honest though, I was expecting very little as they paid me a bonus only recently.
