Christmas/Holiday Bonuses?
I was thrilled to see the notification of an automatic deposit from my employer in between payday Fridays. The company has always provided a small bonus (net between $1-200) and it's not based on percentages but is a set amount that all employees receive. This year it was nearly double last year's. I'm totally pumped since I was expecting less, if anything.
Anyone else get a bonus? Was it expected or unexpected? Do you think it's a sign of slow recovery or just big businesses trying to pump something into it?
