"I'm pretty lucky, company is generous (but they're american so tend to do xmas quite big). We get £150 voucher for John Lewis, M&S or similar, big company xmas party, smaller team lunch and boozy afternoon, a half day for xmas shopping and xmas eve as a freebie day off. Feeling very lucky after hearing how hard done by some of you are!!" mmmm I want to work for your company . Last year are boss didn't even give us all are pay as he said that some " unexpected " bills had gorn out of the account and there was only 50% for each of us . Had to wait till the 9th dec . So this year I am just hopping for my wages ?? | |||

"We run a small business with 12 employees. On the last working day before Xmas they have the afternoon off and we take them for a meal and free bar at a pub/restaurant of their choice. Afterwards, we provide a kitty for them to carry on drinking and get taxis home ( bosses don't go so they can get swallied up in peace!) they also receive a cash bonus ranging from £250 - £750, a case of beer or wine, chocolates and an extra paid day off. We don't expect a thank you - it's our way of thanking them for their hard work through the year. (I was brought up to acknowledge even a birthday card so I have to admit that a thank you wouldn't go amiss. Call me old fashioned etc ....) "Any Jobs goin?  | |||
We will get a bottle from our line manager and that's it | |||

"As I lost my job last week I will be getting diddly squat and no parties for me xx" Its for a reason KK, look forward to the New Year when something lands at your feet. I sound like Mystic Meg, keep ya chin up | |||
"We get £30 each to arrange a Christmas party. I've donated my £30 to charity and won't be attending any work Christmas parties " far play to you on both counts . I'm not going to any Christmas parties. I just don't do Christmas. Its all a con . A very good one and a 2000 year old one . Put still a con . | |||

"Last year an organisation we help on an informal basis brought our team a bottle of wine and box of chocolates each. We had to refuse it as it could be construed as a bribe...
We will get a bottle from our line manager and that's it"The same policy is in place where I work | |||

"When I was self employed,i had a young apprentice working for me,i used to give him an extra weeks money with his xmas pay packet" To someone who is self employed. That makes you epic. This time of year is hard enough without the financial stress. Well done to you! | |||

Any Jobs goin? "I was thinking exactly the same . But thats very generous of you | |||

"Self employed so nothing. Before that I worked for London Underground and we got nothing there as well. A company with a strict D&A policy could hardly be seen paying for drinks for its staff. However a friend of mine owns a small company and I am always invited to his Christmas do. I have to pretend to be an accountant but it's free beer all day. " You must be good with figures then... | |||
"Before my last boss retired we would go out for meal and drinks and she would pay the bar bill,and also get a M and S £50 gift card each but all out of her own money.Now absolutely Nothing!!! Not even a bottle of wine yet line managers happy to come out if I organise night out. That's NHS for you not even had a pay rise for 3 years but that's another story "Hats off to your now retired, generous boss. The pay rise thing is another story but without wishing to sound mean ( maybe unavoidable though) as a tax/NI payer I'm not sure I want those contributions used to fund staff Xmas parties. Not only for our cherished NHS staff but for any public sector workers. | |||
"Do the post office staff still get a book of stamps as their bonus ? " Posties still get 50 first class stamps......my fiancé gives half to his mum and last year donated the other half to a charity raffle. No idea what we'll do with the rest this year | |||

"We get a text message thanking us for all our hard work over this busy period " That kind of takes the piss don't it?
Id rather not have that text. Its not like your phones going to buzz, you read it and smile 'oh look everyone, this has just made my Christmas'.
Awww how sweet....not. | |||

"do you as staff get anything - first xmas we got a box of bikkies or bottle of wine - nothing yr after that - then we got taken out for a meal (hard to organsie as we are a care company and with rotas it was four nights out to give all the chance to get there ) - this yr nothing been mentioned about anything or if you are employers - do you treat the staff - " I get given a small box of chocolates for my year of hard work hahaha | |||

My organisation gives two thirds of the contribution to a meal out. I will personally bring in treats for people and I will provide some treats for some of our clients.
At Easter I put Easter Eggs on everyone's desks too.
