Christmas bonus

[jason_ladouceur]

Better than what I got. I got a 'Well I was going to give you a $(insert ammount here) christmas bonus, but not any more!' from my boss. Followed by threats of not returning my personal property, after I quit.



. . . Happy holidays.


EDIT: Oh, and did I forget to mention being stiffed for part of my pay? I get paid commission style, and I noticed he skipped a bunch of things in the book where I wrote each thing I did. I mentioned it, and he flat out told me I wasn't getting paid for working on, and completing, HIS PERSONAL PROJECTS FOR HIM.

-rage-

Trust me I know that things can always be worse, I’ve been there.
My Christmas bonus one year was my boss stiffing me for the holiday pay that he owed me. And another year from another employer 2 weeks pay, and we almost ended up homeless. So believe me I know that not getting what you expected for a bonus is not the end of the world. I guess I just felt the need to rant a little because when you come to expect one year after year and then for no reason at all and with no warning you get so much less than you had expected it feels almost like you missed out on a paycheck. I know it’s not the same thing but it still sucks.
But either way there is no way I’m going to let it ruin my Christmas. We are off to the parents for Christmas dinner for 13 (I am French catholic after all) and let’s be honest that’s really what Christmas is all about.
I hope everyone here has a very happy holiday with the people they care about.
