Well, I worked for more than a decade in the public sector where bonuses are unheard of. They simply do not exist. So I kind of got used to not having one.
Then I had a few jobs but only for short periods of time before returning to school to get my degree. Now I just started a new job where the holiday schedule sucks, but the company is pretty cool with lots of perks, but I do not see a bonus coming here either.
Still, I think being happy with what you do should trump one's need for a bonus. As well, the term "bonus" implies that you've done something to earn the extra attention. They shouldn't be just automatic.
Anyway, good luck with your holiday time request, or your bonus, whichever comes first. If you get neither, you could always be thankful your working and living indoors, not everyone has that going for them. Just a thought.
Peace,
Pierre
