I got a $3500 raise and a $1500 bonus. I knew that they were giving them out, but since I have only been there 7 months I wasn't expecting it and it was a nice surprise.
The apologized to me that it was low, but that next year it would be much more impressive.
I, like the idiot that I am, told them that I wasn't used to getting them and that they were large for me, even now.
Nothing like telling them that next time they can shaft me and I won't know the difference.
That said, there now looks like I have a new job opportunity elsewhere, so who knows - I might not even be there in a year anyway.

If my bonus keeps doubling every year I may never leave.
That is way shitty jerkbox... I thought I was going to get very little this year cause we expanded our R&D group so much. I was very happy when I got my cheque.

Since our company had a merger a while back, it does nothing. Before that, we got gifts, had a lunch or dinner or party & bonuses. Now, nothing.

When I was in the States, I never expected either a raise or a bonus during the bad economy, but things are different here. Most all of the businesses here that aren't tourism driven are doing quite well.
I was excited for the bonus at first, but then my fiancee told me that I am going to have to put most of it towards our club membership and I also have bike repairs and dental bills that are going to be coming up.
Oh well.
Reminds me of the way nature abhors a vacuum, it seems that my fiancee abhors a surplus in my bank account.

I think that you need a proper job if you want to get one.

I only had one job really, In a very small company. I got a few hundred dollars, Not much but it was OK. The only thing I regret was never working for a huge corporation, I always wanted to have that experience. I think things would have been different for me if that were the case.
Two extra vacation days, 2500 dollar raise and a nice improvement to the pension package.
They brought in lunch last week. I skipped it and went out of town. We also get a turkey.
In summary, we get jack shit!

We pay bonuses as a percentage of salary, ranging from 10% for entry level Associates to 100% for officers. Some employees cn earn bonuses in excess of $100,000.
We always get lots of resignations after this.

why? (i'm not sure if you are being facetious). even at entry level, %10 seems pretty generous.

We like to think it is as well. Our investors hate the bonus program.
However, people who don't really like the place hold out for the bonus, then quit.
