my boss paid for the couriers who collected the pompino I bought from Naranjada as my christmas bonus. Plus he paid for a good meal at the pub for all the staff and about 10 of the regular customers. Fair play to him, that's well generous IMO

We're being taken out for a Xmas dinner with partners on Friday night. We've had a tough year so I'm really suprised that we've been able to afford it. Doubt that we'll get the Xmas bonus that we had last year but THB, I'm just happy to still have a job at the moment.

pretty generous.
we buy a boat load of ale and spirit's for gifts for the customers.
we go out for a meal and drinks payed for by the company.
and for the last 8 yrs we have received a cash xmas bonus...........but this year we have not grown like other years.
so it may change..........we will see.Posted 1 year ago # -

We'll get our usual gift which is worth more than mere money or trinkets - an email from the chief exec. thanking us for our efforts in the past year and being the best performing service in the UK.
Makes my heart swell with pride

Got an evening out for the whole staff and partners(proper nice Xmas curry!) all paid for so that's ok.
Bonus was a week in San Francisco in October also paid for. Nice. Had a good year though and put the time in so that's very ok.Posted 1 year ago # -
Don't care as I do not want anything from them.
I don't want anything from my employer and they must not demand beyond what I have signed up for.

We went out on an embarrassingly expensive night out in London last night. It was fun, but it was tinged with guilt really, a bit too excessive.
I certainly think that part of running a good team is a good night out once in a while though.

Free lunch here. It was good!
Posted 1 year ago # -
My line manager's line manager is quite well known on here.
I'm sure my chistmas bonus is in the post
EDIT: there is a free lunch however, which is usually followed by a bit of a pub crawl so can't complain...

we got a branded t-shirt that we are encouraged to wear on dress down fridays, builds a strong brand image apparently. i can't see them getting much wear unless for working on the car or as a duster

3 course meal in a fab country pub. Only downside is I got to drive home afterwards so no lovely local brew for me.

**** all.
Our manager suggested we do something in June(!!!) instead.
No esprit de corps whatsoever, actually it's very seldom that any of my colleagues have any contact with each other outside of work at all.Oh, and I'm the youngest by almost 20 years too....Christ I can't wait to go back to university in October.

Took the team to Babylon at The Roof Gardens for a lovely lunch yesterday. More than worth it to say thank you for their hard work this year.

Normally get £20 towards a meal out with the team, however it always gets left late, and this year there has been some restructuring, and our team of 20 has been split down the middle, a few new guys that live miles away, as far as I know no-one can be bothered and nothing arranged. We are all being performance managed despite the systems not working properly, and have had gps trackers on the vans so overall, moral is low.
The manager does normally buy a bottle of wine for everyone though.
And I'm on call over Christmas.

Never worked for anyone who gave a bonus or present at Christmas. Don't reckon I'll get anything this year either.

Works Xmas party for us tonight in some hotel in the city centre. It was pretty good last year.
My boss gave the whole team a bottle of wine each last year as well. I'm working right up til Xmas Eve this year but only half a day then (we still get paid for the whole day!
)

SFA. Also the lovely management have decided all the shift workers here should work Xmas day even though we're not making anything, 'just in case'.
