walshie 2,804 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 It's nice to get a pressie off your boss, but all I ever got was a bottle of red wine (yuck) or something equally pointless. I know we live in the country now, but my son has just come home with his present from work. Half a pig chopped into various cuts and a builders bag of logs. Nice one.

BGD 6,427 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Nice to feel appreciated by the boss at this time of year I used to do a bit of a hamper for the lads working under me, they'd all get a massive turkey some drink and a few nice bits to eat. Half of them would be straight down the pub to flog the turkey but it's the thought that counts 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,684 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) I work for a utility company so it's a meal in the pub with some dosh left behind the bar. I don't drink at these do's, been there got the hat, so the monies wasted as far as I'm concerned. Two cokes and I'm off. Can't afford to waste a day getting over ale these days? I also get the odd bottle off contractors...glenfiddich Edited December 16, 2015 by cragman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 19,716 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I normally get a cash bonus but it varies from year to year depending on the situation ...We moved workshop earlier this year and it was a expensive move for various reasons ...The boss fukt of to France yesterday for Xmas he has a place out there so I'm not expecting to much to be honest ...probably a note ...Help yourself to a bag of shavings 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
