Do you think it's true that not many companies give holiday bonuses?
Just curious as to what you all think?

It depends on your line of work.

Same here. We need year-end results calculated before we can figure out the bonuses.

Apparently it seems only 1/3 companies even offer bonuses so for those who get them, kudos to you!
I didn't get any but my DH did.
35% of employers give bonus/gift of some sort

We get bonuses with our annual review. I prefer that since it's based on actual performance rather then a formula applied across the board to everyone.

Re: Do you think it's true that not many companies give holiday bonuses?
Mine doesn't.
Honestly, i can understand people being let down, but it still surprises me that people complain about Bonus'. Its just that- a Bonus... not something that's guaranteed. I know people work hard and for that, they feel like their bonus should reflect that, but that issue should be taken up with their salary. A Bonus, imo, is like a gift- and i feel like something is better than nothing, so it still surprises me when people complain.

I think it depends on what industry you are in.

I hear you!
In the past my company gave a flat one week bonus to everyone in December. Then we had a bad year and it was reduced to half a week's pay. OMG - people were complaining for months that we got a 2 1/2 day bonus. I get that it was a little disappointing but the reality was they were thisclose to getting nothing.

It definitely depends on your line of work. I've never gotten a bonus and I don't think I ever will.

I work for a private engineering company. I work PT, amounting to about 8-10 hours a week (I actually am a SAHM), but I still got a bonus. No complaints here.

Lots of companies don't give bonuses. And if you get one you are very lucky!

Re: Do you think it's true that not many companies give holiday bonuses?
In my industry bonuses are part of your total comp and bonus language ( mimimums and what its based on) are in your offer letter. We dont offer or accecpt jobs based on base alone. My bonus is a significant chunk of my annual earnings

In my line of work, there has never been a bonus. And I've worked for many places in this field.
WAIT!!!!!! Does a computer lint collector count as a bonus?

Re: Do you think it's true that not many companies give holiday bonuses?
Its not always necessarily the whole company. I work for a huge company and I know for a FACT that other divisions get bonuses. Even worse, I know for a fact that my higher up supervisors get bonuses if we do well. Yet us the lowly worker ants who actually put the product together get nothing.

Ditto. March 1 is our bonus payout day and it's a huge deal. The office is closed and we have a Bonus Day event. Last year it was an all day rock n' bowl event with liquor and catering.
Bonuses are part of our total comp package too with mimimums noted in the offer letter. My bonus this year could be about 20% of my base so it's significant when considering the job offer.

I work for a HUGE financial company that has a hand in everything. We haven\ not heard of bonuses or raises but one of our top guy leaves because he knew he didnt lead us in the right direction this past year and we lost A LOT of money and he gets a multi million dollar severance

Bonuses are part of our compensation and are earned, not just given out. They are paid out in March based on last year's performance.
