At the beginning of this year, I'd promised myself I'd save up enough to be able to buy gifts for my niece and nephew and smaller gifts for the rest of the family, but the holidays are here, and I have little to nothing saved up. Didn't help that I was forced to buy a car and move apartments twice. I really could use a bonus. What did you do that worked when you asked for one and actually got a good bonus?

I asked for a bonus right after a busy sales period and came prepared with specific achievements and examples of going above the required targets. Managers like and need to see the numbers and enthusiasm.

I tried to share how little I've called out, discussed how I've covered for people last minute, talked about how I've gone above and beyond for the team. Some companies don't do bonuses like that, though.

That depends on how your bonus is set up. Some are weighed more on personal performance, others (and more common) are weighed on store performance.

Share all the things you did to improve your workplace this year as well as how you improved sales or customer service. There is no harm in trying!

At my company, the bonus depends on your yearly performance. Nothing special affects it.

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer. I used to be one of the main journalists for Spanish media, but since I moved to Miami I feel the general passion for soccer is very different 🥲 The energy and commitment are not even close to what I felt in Spain, where some businesses would close if the match was too important. I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
