Ive never got a Christmas bonus in my life. And I work for a part of DHL, so it isnt as if its a crappy little company. Maybe they are less common in the UK - I know (since I used to do the cashbook) that directors and middle management all get Christmas bonuses in my company (about 1/10 of annual salary), but people lower down than that don't tend to, at least I never have.
The way it goes I suppose, money goes money. The guys on 100K who dont really need it get a bonus, the administrator struggling on 12K - who could really use it gets nothing.
