Ours last year was a Walmart card for $50. Probably the same this year.

We got $100 gift card to Sweetbay Supermarket for Thanksgiving. Maybe we'll get $25 to the hospital gift shop this year like we did last year. I'd rather they just give us $125 to Sweetbay.

Must be nice to get a bonus! At my last job we got a big, fancy Christmas party that I never went to. That's all I remember getting, off the top of my head.
My new job, we're getting what SOUNDS like a nice Christmas meal served by the cafeteria folks.
I think I've actually had a job or two in the past in which I received Christmas bonuses, but again, nothing that I can remember for sure.
Columbia sportswear? I guess you must work for an HCA facility.
Uh, I worked for an HCA facility until July... and, see my post above.
Plus, I thought TriageRN was talking about stuff her hubby's company gives out?

Lets see....I've gotten a turkey, a $25 GC to Wal-Mart, a free Sams membership, a $25 GC to Honeybaked Ham (which - doesn't go far so we combined them all and had a Christmas party at work one night).
This year I got $25 direct deposited into my account - saw it this am.

for Thanksgiving we got a catered meal. Today I got my bonus. It is based on years worked and amount earned last year and mine after taxes came out to over $700.00. We are also going to have a christmas party/reception at a nice rest. with an open bar.

Usually, our cafeteria is closed for night shift on Thanksgiving. After polling night shift workers, they decided to open for a meal that night. The kicker was we had to pay for Thanksgiving meal.... my bill was over $6 for turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing and pumpkin pie.. course the pie alone was $2.60. There was a poor turnout. I don't think they realized most people already ate the same thing before coming into work that night... we wanted the regular cafeteria fare. I imagine they'll close the cafeteria next year.

We get a turkey at Thanksgiving (about 10lb). We get a free meal but working in the ER we are usually too busy to go. If you work night turn you get a boxed lunch (cold). The docs usually sponsor a party but not many attend any more. No money or gift cards/certificates.

$25.00 gift card if you are a full-time employee. No Christmas party unless we do on our own. I am sure the administrative employees get to have a party, they just try and keep it quiet from the worker bees.
