We used to get a Xmas bonus based on years of service - it was a pretty nice chunk of change. Then in 1995, the bean counters changed the fiscal year, and we got bonuses in February, based on merit. In other words, ******-kissing...
Since the new company took over, this year's bonus is based on meeting certain "criteria" - x dollars for this, x dollars for meeting this standard, x dollars for wearing purple on Arbor Day, x dollars for no one sneezing on the job, etc. etc.
So yes, I get a Xmas bonus. In February. If I'm lucky.
Happy Groundhog Day.
