Default My cheap azz Boss

Well this is the first time this has happen. I been with my company going on 3 years. Last two x-mas i got 250 bucks and then 300 cash bonus. For turkey day he used to give us a turkey voucher to take to the local deli and we would get a free turkey. Didn't get that this year. Also we are not having a x-mas party. He used to throw a good X-Mas party. My GF would always pick me up cuz i would drink all the free beer i can.:smokin:

We didn't have the best year. But everyone was alittle pissed that he didn't have the balls to just come out and tell us. We understand if he didn't have they money but let us know that there will be no bonus this year. One guy has been with the company 15years and this is the 1st time they didn't give anything. I know its a BONUS and I'm not really that upset i didn't get one. I just wished he would have told us.

Owell my rant is over. It can be alot worse i could be an arrow driver.

Anyway everyone have a good x-mas i know i will. Keep the Bud and Rolling Rock coming.:thumbsup:

Mack ours did the same thing, wouldn't read much into it. We all knew nothing would happen for us this year, didn't help we got cut back to 32 hours starting last Monday. We knew at Thanksgiving that we wouldn't see any type of bonus' when they didn't get us any vouchers for a turkey. We were lucky to get our vacation pay. Merry Christmas bud and hope 2010 brings better days for us all.

Well if it makes you feel any better Big Brown has all the money in the world and we always got a turkey voucher but not this year. Cheap bastards! I have half a mind to just quit! (well...the half a mind is probably right but I still cant quit).

Same deal happened where I work, except it started last year. Nothing extra at all..no turkey, no bonus, no party. Heck I haven't even been down to the yard in over a month. Praying that things pick up next year...

If you like, I could give the ham that I got from my account. I'll bring it with me monday when I'm out that way. I would bring you the turkey that they gave us for Thanksgiving but that is gone already. Would you like the ham that I will get for Easter to? Or the cookies that my one customer(bakery) gave me for Christmas, opps, they are now gone to.:lol:
