"Have you got one?
Are you happy with it?
Does your employer appreciate you?"
No from temp agency nor placement
Not applicable
No as both company are a profits-before-people-firm
No can't get holiday for NYD, as hols only run Jan-Dec, not Apr-Mar like other places. 
Happy New Year go get another job.
(If you work in the same place for more than 3 months, then you should be taken on. 15 months later that will never happen)
No leaving gift either!
BAH HUMBUG to them! |

"Sappster...educate me....what's this bonus/gift of which you speak?  "
It is a token of esteem and appreciation, traditionally given to staff by their employers
In days of yore apparently |

My work made 124.2 million in profits last year. They paid out dividends of 5 million.
For us grunts on the ground we get a cheap box of dinner mints and a cheap bottle of wine or port. Usually totally undrinkable.
So safe to say they dont think too much of us on the ground. |

I too am a pensioner and being in receipt of a state pension I receive a £10 Christmas bonus of which I will pay £2 income tax, As I turn 80 next month my pension will increase by 25p per annum which is also taxable. I donate both sums to charity along with my £200 heating allowance which I really do not need.
This heating allowance is not means tested as my sister and her husband (both in their 70s) get £200 between them, Their combined annual income is in excess of £200K. They too donate the heating allowance to charity. |

We get Chocolate from head office! And wine.
Can't complain though as they also paid for our Christmas Party.
My son got a cashmere scarf with his companies logo on it, He is a game developer so the logo looks cool as hell.

We get chuff all.
Employers don't appreciate us but they sure as hell appreciate the salaries they get.
I tell a lie, we get a thank you. But it's a "thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice..... we outdid last year by 5% and had record breaking takings" which should be followed by "none of which you'll ever see" but they seem to forget that bit.

I think it is a bit harsh!  How do you know the company is not short of a few quid?  Do you have access to the company p&l?
I am not trying to be funny here. The truth is you may have no idea what he is going through and atleast he/she cared to give you something. A bit of gratitude will go a long way. That is my 2 cents!  |

From directors I got a hamper worth around £70 full of goodies from local companies, from my manager Ferrero Collection and our Christmas party is today. Mind you I only work for this place for less than two weeks so I really can't complain |

I didn't get a bonus, but my boss is an utter bitch.
I'm my own boss
My contractors got gifts from their placement though and one ungrateful knob did nothing but complain to them about it.
A bonus isn't compulsory, just be grateful you got one of any type!

Yes I’m being harsh. I’m sorry I should really have thought that having an after tax profit last year of 32 million and a staff base worldwide of 27000 would indeed have an impact on showing gratitude to their staff who helped furnish their new homes last year. How inconsiderate of me
PS have a merry Christmas |
