Did your employer do anything special for the holidays - a gift, bonus, party, etc…?

Mine hasn’t done anything for years and admittedly it’s kind of disappointing, particularly with “culture” such a big focus these days.

We had holiday parties/dinners across our offices but +1’s weren’t allowed 🧐

Gifts from two different levels of management and a week off in between Christmas and New Year's. My own manager is having a little Zoom meeting get-together this week, and she always organizes special things to show she cares. The entire team is remote and across multiple countries and regions, but it's incredibly close-knit for that setup. I'm really lucky, as, after a couple of decades in the business world, this is among the best things I've seen.

We had holiday parties pre-COVID but that was about it. No gifts, no bonuses, only the 3-6% yearly raise we normally get. 🙁

The I my

Annual bonus and more stock options

They gave a whopping two hours of free leave to use by the end of the year.

We had a holiday party on a weekend evening for employee plus one, along with an internal potluck and white elephant gift exchange. In addition, individuals within the company sometimes choose to buy small gifts for their teams out of their own money, which is always appreciated by their teams. We don't get holiday or end of year bonuses unless we are part of the special incentive plans some employees get put into. Usually those who have critical skill sets or are considered flight risks.

Had a great holiday party in Burlington, MA with food, drinks, casino and gifts.

We got a thank you card from the company, in the mail. We also had a team lunch last week

Nothing - I work at a cash strapped startup

we had a virtual holiday party where no budget was provided for food/drinks. no gifts, raises or bonuses

Atos please state your statements very crystal and clear about joining bonus. When you state you have to “repay joining bonus before completion of one year of employment with the company” doesn’t mean that it will include notice period or you state that once a person is on notice period he or she isn’t employed with your company. STOP ADJUSTING YOUR STATEMENTS ACCORDING TO YOUR CONVENIENCE OR FOR YOUR BENEFIT
Please stop harassing employees on their last working day.

How to negotiate salary when you’ve given them a range? I recently panicked and told the recruiter my expected range. If I get to the offer stage, I assume they will offer me the lower end of my range and of course I don’t want to sound ungrateful or greedy, but is there a way to negotiate to a little higher?

Btw I would be fine with the lower end of my range if offered, I’m just curious because I gave a range and not a hard number, is there a way to negotiate?
