I'm getting a bonus at work!
Edited on Mon Nov-30-09 02:48 PM by Mad_Dem_X
They just told us this morning - for the first time in the company's long history, they are giving everyone a year-end bonus. Those, like me, who have been here 6 months or more will get $2,000! :bounce:

So, how's YOUR Monday going? :)

Edited to add: I just wanted to post some good news today. This was not meant to be a boastful post.

3. That is excellent news, Mad.
I'm so glad that there are companies still out there that consider their employees an asset. :hi:

6. It Is Good News For You
It's a very positive sign that some companies see a better road ahead and feel confident enough to spend more on their employees. And, companies imitate each another.

8. Great for you!!!
The largest bonus my asshat former employer ever gave me, after nine years, was $130.00, before taxes. And they made me feel that I was personally bankrupting the company by cashing the check.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying a windfall, though! Woo-hoo!
