As hash_browns said, we've been working here since we were in our mid-teens..
I know if I worked for a big corporation I probably wouldn't get one - that's expected.. but not from such a small and personal environment like this.
I know people are saying "be appreciative you even got anything/have a job", but... they are the ones taking advantage of US in terms of pay/extra compensation. They should be appreciative they have people like us keeping the company afloat. Like I said, I can easily get a job anywhere else (and it would RUIN the company).. but being a place where I personally know people on a level more than "just a job", it's kinda BS that it even remotely turns up like this.
It would be equivalent to working for your best friend knowing helping him pull in a few million a year and you only get a slight fraction of that.

If you believe you deserve that much stompy then just leave. Do like you say you want to in the other few post above. In no way am I trying to be negative in this post, but honestly it's how I feel.
If you want more money, and they aren't providing, then just find another job. That's what our country is good for.
To me a bonus is a bonus. Nothing more. If I feel like i'm not compensated correctly, I'm not going to wait for a bonus to act. What's it going to do? Pass you for a year until the next year when the bonus doesn't match up again, and you go back into this situation?
I'm not one to talk in this situation though. I've had the oppurtunity to make a large amount of money but I chose not too because I wanted to do what I enjoy and thankfully it's been nice compensation. I can't talk about your situation, but if I felt like I wasn't paid enough and plus I hated what I was doing...this would be a different situation.
