I don't think we get a Christmas bonus - or at least I didn't get one!

Got a bottle of champagne, would have preferred cash, then again I probably would have spent the cash on buying some expensive wine for a present anyway, so there's my final present sorted I think

Bear in mind that the city slickers make up about 1% of city workers... Rest of us are set for not a lot!!

Aye, but you have to remember it costs that much to buy a round in the City

My friends just finished her 2nd year at Goldman Sachs, she got £5k, the team bonus for her division was £3m, she and her boss are the only people on the Permie payroll, she's pissed to say the least !!

And for Goldmans it probably means she's had to give them nearly all her social life in order to get that bonus.

Self employed so no bonus, but one of the companies that does work for me presented me with a box of Norwegian fish, it says Lofoten on the box, but it could have come from anywhere, a selection of salmon, mackerel, herring, and some small fish that I don't know.

Unusual gift and much appreciated.

Yeah, she shouldn't complain.... some of us probably won't be getting paid this month. Again
Best Xmas bonus for most people is to still have a job in the new year ie not getting Santas Sack!
