Love this question! Mine was a $2K surprise after a tough season, and it felt like real appreciation. What about you, what was it tied to, a goal or just a “thank you”?

Mine was an unexpected $500 after an extremely stressful week. My boss just gave me a card at the end of my last shift before a couple days off. Just to say thanks for the hard work and how he knew it has been a crazy few weeks. It really caught me off guard and meant a lot.

All I got was a $250 gift card. That was my best bonus. I guess it's better than nothing. The company was struggling and we kept it running. It felt more like a pat on the back. I think we deserved a raise.

Maybe I'm in the wrong industry, but I've never gotten a bonus. Never, ever. I got a coffee cup for Christmas once, does that count? Lol.

So...did I get an offer or not?! 😅
