As we enter the Christmas Season - the season of giving - I am wondering how your employer show his appreciation to you for your devoted service during the preceding year. A $20.00 gift card to Starbucks or . . .

We give roughly one weeks salary, and a Holiday party, including spouses, at a nice restaurant.
We get a cash bonus that is fairly close to a week's salary though it may be higher depending business factors
Depends on the year. It's always cash. This year mine was 1 and 3/4 weeks pay.
one weeks pay
I'm honestly jealous. No such generosity for us "big-box" folks.

In many countries, opticians are paid monthly and then the Christmas bonus was one month pay.
In Canada it is usually bi-weekly, and if business was good so is the bonus.

This year we did a holiday party where everyone in the company got a prize through a raffle system (Prizes ranged from gift baskets to bottles of wine to footballs signed by former and current Steelers to Kindle Fires). We also got a cash bonus this year as well. Mine was $125.00
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity
One weeks pay and party at nice restaurant and gift cards about $175.
we got roughtly 2 weeks bonus and year-end party
What exactly is a Holiday Party?
Dinner together, and some event going on during the dinner like gift exchanges and raffles(almost all the employee win something)
still waiting on mine......
On average, would you say these are handed out at the company gathering? Ours was 2 weeks ago.
I feel like Scrooge himself. I did the dinner with significant others at a nice Italian restaurant where the tab was $435 plus 100 bucks cash to each, totalling $1435. If I'd have done the 1 weeks salary plus the dinner it would have been around 10K.
Bah, Humbug!
1k check for us...
the office got kindle fires and a 250 bonus and a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant (which where I bring my girl all the time now.)
$100 gift card
A Fresh Start...
Having just opened with a new owner, new office, etc.. it is nice to have a chance to start fresh with a vision closer to my own. So with all the that, you won't hear me complain that I didn't get a fat check or gift card.
I am happy that I got both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off paid. We also switched to a PTO system that will give me more paid time off in 2016. Time I can spend with family.. that's what is important to me. (Especially with a parents who are not doing well and living in another state)

Wow. Some pretty impressive bonuses here! My employer is definitely behind the curve.
