$0

$7500

Dam where do you work?? Haha I got a measly $100 gift card to a nice local restaurant. But that's barely enough to cover 2 entrees and a bottle of wine. Wish I had that cash to pay off my credit cards right now and buy myself a nice Christmas present

$0 bonus. Not something my company provides.

But isn’t a visa gift card essentially the same as cash? You can use it however you want vs a gift card to a specific store

I guess you could argue that direct deposit would be more convenient so they don’t have to carry a plastic card to spend it and risk losing it.

*shrug*

$0 bonus and yup, it sucks. Haven't had a raise in 2 years either so a Christmas bonus would have been very welcome.

I think somebody’s up to give gift cards instead of cash because they got taxes. They have to take out on gift cards as long as they’re under a certain amount and that way you don’t have to taxes out either. You could do that gift card. I didn’t get any kind of bonus so even at $250 gift card would’ve been pretty sweet for me.

$0

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??
