I'll follow the trend - it's a bonus to have a job these days, especially in the tech sector (especially in Seattle). I'm unsure if I'll get a bonus, but I know I'll get to work and be paid for that work.
I used to have a job where I felt that I was owed something. Fortunately, a friend told me that it was just a job and the only expectation I should have was a small pile of dead presidents/inventors on a regular basis. He said that if I was always free to find another job, but to expect more than a paycheck was asking for disappointment.
So I stayed at that job and felt like I was owed something and got fired for having a shitty attitude - the only time I've ever been fired from a job. Then I got the job I always wanted (where I don't necessarily get a bonus) and I understood what my friend said.
