Merry Chistmas Eve! Is there something you wish your company did around the holidays? Mine is throwing an elaborate Christmas party. I’ve never worked at a place that didn’t have it in their office.

I wish I worked for a company that gave out truly generous Christmas bonuses. I realize, of course, that I'm in the wrong line of work. People I know who work in finance get real bonuses for Christmas. I get a percentage of my regular paycheck. I don't want to sound ungrateful, I'm happy to get that as it pays for a few presents. But it must be something to get a substantial bonus.

I get how you feel. Those finance bros get all the money!

A Christmas bonus would be incredible. I'm dreaming though, because we didn't even get acknowledgement. No "thanks for your hard work this year", 'Happy holidays!", nothing.

Omg no happy holidays is really strange…

At a startup I left because of this, my boss had been there since day 1. He was a nightmare. The last straw was when he took out his anger at a home issue on me and made fun of me for being upset. HR told me they couldn't do anything about him.
