What kind of holiday bonus do you get?

Published

Just curious what different hospitals, clinics, organizations etc are giving their staff over the holidays this year. As a nurse I've never gotten more than a couple hundred bucks as a Christmas bonus but it's always appreciated when employers give a little extra. What are you getting this year? Cash? Coffee mug? Please share!

Gosh, all of you sound so bitter about your jobs. This site seriously makes me wonder wth I'm getting myself into. Honestly.

Not everyone is bitter, I assure you.

I've never gotten anything more than a $20 gift card to Walmart, but I don't mind. I don't really expect anything during any holidays so whatever is given is truly a bonus.

If you are working you get a turkey dinner....which is really really salty. And we all got gift certificates for Marie Callendars pies. We get a yearly bonus every year as long as the hospital makes money...it comes out to about 170 bucks after taxes, but that's in June.

Nothing! Apparently, I am just supposed to be thankful that I have a job as we didn't even get raises this past year due to the 'poor economy'.

I didn't even get an extra day off work with pay..just got an extra days of pay but still work my regular amt of hours. This is my 5th night in a row...someone said that there was a Holiday this week....

Everyone, working or not gets a $15 gift card to Fred Meyer. I usually give mine to one of the housekeepers who has 9 kids.
