Not the bonus alone, but that plus selling off a SD, Omega Great White, Helson Shark Diver and Seiko Monster mod built up the watch fund to allow me to buy an AP Royal Oak 15400, which should be here on Friday!

Conceptually my TT Daytona will be part funded by my bonus and the sale of my Tudor Tiger Chrono.

Even if people did get any type of bonus I don't think they would put that number on an internet forum. But hey that's just me

Typically things concerning ones personal income and finances are considered off limits on these type of forums. I think for good reason too.

My best bonus this holiday was getting to see my family that came together from close and far to celebrate the holiday.

No bonus per se, but a promotion is close enough

Andy, Im a nurse in Ontario. NO bonus for me. ;-) Our contract runs out in April..which means it won't be done for about 2yrs after it goes to arbitration. LOL SOOOOO….luckily…overtime & shortage of intensive care nurses come in handy. ;-)

Funny you should ask this....I finally made executive grade three years ago, and the company freezes bonuses - you guessed it, three years ago. Oh well.

Hope those of you out there that did receive them put them to good use!

I get a year end bonus every year. I guess I could call it a Christmas bonus. This year I was going to save mine, but instead bought myself a new Exp2 which should be at the dealer here in a few days time. I had enough for the watch and something for my wife then saved the rest. Should help out with this summer's vacation plans.. Hopefully

Seems that old fashioned Christmas bonus has become quite antiquated. Too bad. :-(

Mr. President…show us your question when you receive it. You are one of the few to get that elusive Christmas bonus. :-)

My bonus this year... I only had to WORK half the day, and was home in time to spend the afternoon with the family.

I'm a trader so my bonus is usually 150-300% of my salary. This was not a good year for my company...so it was 0%.
