To be honest I would be happy with any bonus. I work in the school system and have not had a raise in 5 years, and this year we are working 3 days without pay. So count your blessing and be thankful you have a job.

haha...you complain about no raise in 5 years and working days without pay...and immediately follow that up by telling him to zip it and count his blessings...funny...


and 5 years with no raise??? Might want to think about moving on...

I am happy to have a job, and thank God daily that I do. I also LOVE my job and my classroom full of kids. It is not about money, I am not complaining, just stating that it could be worse. Be thankful you got something! Please do not put words in my mouth that I did not say! And NO I do not think it is time to move on, teachers are not quitters because the government screwed up the priorities.

I am thankful, but I'm not gonna be a door mat...if I'm not being paid what I feel I am worth, I'm moving on...it's not quitting...it's getting what you deserve...

I never claimed my time was so "valuable". I'm not trying to put you down, make fun of you or be a douche, but sometimes some people don't realize what they sound like or how they're coming across until another person points it out.

I'm simply replying to your thread to help you realize that you opening a "woe is me thread" about receiving a unsatisfactory Christmas bonus is making you look like the world revolves around you. Your wife losing her job and mother and you losing your dog are real concerns to complain about and I'm sorry for your losses.

You boss chose to give you a Christmas bonus. Whether smaller than last year or not, it's still something he didn't have to give you. It tells me that he appreciates you and gave you what he could or felt you were worth. Instead of complaining of the size of an optional Christmas bonus, complain about the things that matter in life and "Don't sweat the small stuff"

Well in this day you just may
Get paid a whole lot less than now. By all means if you want to leave than do so, but really if I was your boss you would not have gotten a thing with your attitude.

So wanting what I'm worth is having a bad attitude? Please explain...


It's becoming clear why you haven't had a raise in 5 years...you're just lucky to have a job!!!

I fail to see how it's heartless for the people who work their asses off to make q company sucessfull to hope for just a little piece of the pie. I don't expect the owner to go broke to say thank you. But really if it wasnt for me and the other guys that break our backs every day he would have to actually work for a living and I doubt could afford new cars for him and his wife, 3 boats with a brand new boat house to park them in and all the other things he enjoys. The last time I was with him and we stoped to get coffee there was a problem because all he had on him was a fist full of 50's. It's his buisness. He worked hard to get it where it is. And I think he deserves all his success. But a couple hundred dollars would mean nothing to him and so much to me so why hurt the people you depend on for no reason. I never wanted any pity or to claim that I'm so hard off. I just wanted to express my frustration at the lack of thankfulness shown by a man that I have spent the last 5 years making rich.

Well the school systems does not have money because of the government, my boss loves all her teachers, I am one. I do not complain. I just think your being a selfish twit. Complain about something real and not about something petty. When you own your own company than you can get paid what you feel your worth. I am sorry if I sound rude, but there are so many that are worse off and they do not complain.
