Post your christmas bonus

£350 before the taxman took his grubby mitts, rubbed them together, and took his cut. Also got 2 bottles of wine, and 2 half days off, plus a slap up meal/booze up on the company.

The best bonus I ever had from work was after I had been there for about 3 months. We had an enormous order from a customer, and a 6 week deadline. All the overtime we could manage plus a £1K bonus. I was 19 at the time, so it seemed like loads of money!

£200 and £20's worth of Casino chips. :cool:

My bonus was extra work to do, a litery overview to do and to re-program an aerodnamics modle of a helicopter.

£0, empty bottle of wine filled with punch was quite nice though

I got zilch. My mum got a hamper thingy with some champagne, a few bottles of wine, nice biscuits, cranberry sauce, preserves etc.

20% pay raise.

VonClinkerhofen · 6 Jan 2007 at 16:01

Got 30 quid and a bottle of wine, seems about average if you take out the one or two guys who got huge bonuses. Getting a 0% pay rise this year though

omg how did you get them lol!

woah ive never had one £50 note never mind that many

£50 notes, I've had lots of them same with £100 notes, only problem is that if you buy something in a store they verify its legit, by telling their manager and penning it and all this crap.

£0

Huh. Didn't take very long at all

About £1050 over 3 days on top of double which equates to about £638 a day. ANYONE in the rail industry that worked as a primary contractor for Network Rail would've gotten the same. I'm back to normal money now

Yep, there's a lot of money flying around!
Some of the people I work with will have got similar amounts, if not more.

Nothing, then again I haven't ever worked for a company that gives out Christmas bonuses so haven't ever expected one. When I used to provide Tech Support for UGC Cinemas (3rd party) they did give me some premier screen cinema tickets which was quite nice. UGC Premier screens were ace shame they are gone.
