Popular Post Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted February 24, 2023 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 24, 2023 We just learned today that the bonus payout will post next Friday. I don’t know the amount yet but last year was $6,500. I should get more as my performance rating is higher this year. 5 11 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to have the hood over the stove installed. That work is beyond my abilities. The backsplash will need to be retiled as well. We need to get a stairlift installed as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted February 25, 2023 Share #7 Posted February 25, 2023 At my old place I used to get a $5 cafeteria coupon for Christmas. Not bad for a place with a budget in the billions. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give them any ideas. That's how it was where I worked. ANY reward had an official process. and the value of the reward eventually found it's way as a line item on my pay for taxes. and then a deduction after taxes for the reward. When I was a rookie manager... I went out and purchsed gift cards for my employees once. Soon after that HR had a 'discussion' with me about the 'proper' way (that had an approval process too) to provide gift cars aa a reward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After we were bought the new owners gave us the week off without pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted February 25, 2023 Share #15 Posted February 25, 2023 Is the $6500 gross or net? We’re getting ours soon. Hoping for $6000 net payment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gross. Net was about half that. Like @Shu Fang, gub-mint took half. I had to use the other half to pay taxes. Go figure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bonus is always nice but when you see how much Uncle Sam takes, it takes a bit of shine off the award… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending where one is at in pay scale with in a job classification, one may move up a bit in pay. Or there's nothing available at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffJim Posted March 8, 2023 Share #25 Posted March 8, 2023 Just got news mine is $9133 gross. Not bad, but less than last years. Will repay credit card for vacation I’m taking in May. Also pay some to the 6 charities/ministries I support. Maybe throw $1000 into my mutual fund investments, and if there’s any left over blow it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think just because you worked harder than the average flunkie and earned yourself a bonus that you should get to keep any of it? What are you, a bunch of money-grubbing, heartless, capitalist Warren Buffet wannabes? Have you forgotten the golden rule: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"? If the government took only half, or even all of it, then none of you are paying your 'fair' share! (Political content redacted) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
