Mine was monetary this year. This was reinstated in the company after a long time of not happening.

I get no bonus either. Although they continue to give me a paycheck for 2 months of the summer when I'm not there.

I tore the lining out of the bottom of my loveseat last week for a pack of smokes. I would've checked the couch, but the ol' lady beat me to it.:bouncetau

I'm not really complaining...because it is a bonus, not an "expected". I thought it was funny enough to post!
Take heart. At the rate your bonus's are increasing, next year they might give you a sneaker.

No bonus for me either. I did get my quarterly profit sharing a month early though and that was nice.

As an intern, I don't even get paid for freaking holidays. Which is stupid, cause the whole damn place shuts down so I couldn't even work if I wanted to!

That magnet sounds pretty sweet, tho!:rofl:

My company is not doing well this half (we get biannual bonuses) ... so basically I got 20% of my possible amount. After taxes this amounted to about a box of Esplendidos (glass top).

Hey IndyRob ... just think of all those thousands of Chinese workers that Reebok employs. That bonus basically doubled their yearly salary!
