Today was an interesting day. After spending a good chunk of my day trying to find a part-time job, I was informed that our Christmas bonus here at work is not even enough to buy groceries for my family. It reminds me of that Chevy Chase movie, Christmas Vacation. What a classic! Maybe I should do what his brother did to his boss.
I know what you’re thinking, “You should be lucky you are getting anything” and “You should be lucky you still have a job.” Well, let me tell you something. I think the companies are thinking we are thinking that way and that is why they think they can get away with giving such crappy bonuses. I think that is why Christmas bonuses are going to be smaller this year for a lot of us. Sure, some of us don’t get one, and I am sorry. But for those of us that do, it will be shrinking. A lot of us count on that, and I was one of them. I have learned that you cannot count on anything lately except yourself.
This announcement comes not long after they sent out a corporate email stating how their profits have gone up tremendously this year. Really? What a joke.
