Merry Christmas to everyone in here. I am right there with you on that. We don't get bonuses and they told us earlier this year we wouldn't be getting raises. To say morale is in the toilet is an understatement.
Pro
Merry Christmas to you too. Hope you at least got a quiet moment with family or a decent meal in between the chaos.
Ugh, reading that just made my stomach sink. No raises AND they straight-up told you none are coming? That’s brutal. At that point it’s not even about the money anymore; it’s the blatant “we don’t value you” message it sends. No wonder morale is tanked. I’ve been in places where they’ve frozen raises “temporarily” because of “budget constraints,” but at least they pretended there was hope on the horizon. Telling people flat-out “nothing this year” feels like they’re daring folks to leave.
Are people actually jumping ship over it, or is everyone just quietly updating resumes while grinning and bearing it? If it’s any consolation, you’re definitely not alone. A lot of us are in the same sinking boat right now.
My gift from my company for 5 years of work and my birthday was a free meal ticket for one meal. Extremely useful for a overnight worker🙄🙄
Pro
Oof, a single meal ticket for your 5-year anniversary AND your birthday? That’s… wow.
That’s next-level cheap Like, I get that overnight folks already get the short end of the stick with scheduling and zero work-life balance, but throwing in a voucher that’s basically useless when the cafeteria is closed during your shift?
That’s just rubbing salt in the wound. “Here’s your reward, good luck using it without taking unpaid time off or eating cold vending machine crap at 3am again.”
"Does the festive spirit make bosses more generous?" Ha that I've seen. Maybe toward their kids and spouse. Not toward us employees though.
Pro
Haha right?? The festive spirit apparently peaks right around December 24th when they're shopping for the family and signing those bonus checks... for their own kids' college funds In my experience, the only "generous" thing I've seen around Christmas is the mandatory potluck where we all bring food and they provide... paper plates. Or that one year we got a $25 Amazon gift card "from the leadership team" while the C-suite posted their ski trip pics on LinkedIn.If anything, bosses seem to get extra stingy this time of year—like "hold off on any salary discussions till after the holidays when the budget resets." Translation: let's wait till the holiday glow wears off and we're all too burned out from January staffing shortages to fight for it.

Merry Christmas to all. Spent less this year than other years but still panicking over credit card spends.
happy holidays
