Nothing.
They already took away our Holiday party a couple years ago to save money, we don't get any bonuses or gifts and if we're lucky the boss might take us out after work and buy apetizers at the bar or something. One year I guess we got this "gift" which was the paper box thing you had to put together and inside the lid it said "our most valuable asset - YOU!" Talk about one of the dumbest things ever, it wasn't even worth what they probably paid to make and send those things out. Save that money and send me the check for it, even if it's $2. At least I can get a pop with that...

I called yours and told them to give you all "punches in the face".
Wise guy :smile:
Mine doesnt give out anything. They gave us a turkey for thanksgiving, but it was probably free from some client.
The company my dad works for does this. Every employee gets a turkey. Actually, they get a certificate to take to Fareway to get a turkey. There have been a few years where the turkeys have been gone. Ooops.
No joke, this year I got a ham, a turkey, and a prime rib! The company has a thing for ordering from HoneyBaked Ham.
I almost forgot, the company that I send my clients to to take their physicals usually sends the proverbial popcorn tin.
Sure you do! It is called columbus day off, MLK day off, Flag day off, and everyother stupid so called holiday. Merry Christmas!
I am being a smart azz, not a scrooge

No Flag day, that might just be state government.

I worked for a large public company for 10+ years and got only a tin of popcorn containing various popcorn favors.
I recently took a job with a small, private consultant and, even thought I've only worked there for 3 weeks, I got several articles of clothing with a company logo, a tin of gourmet chocolates, and a $100 pre-loaded Visa gift card. Sweeeet!

This is the first year in many my company didn't give everyone a turkey (which is good, since I have to drive 8 hours home for Christmas and don't really care to travel with a turkey). This year, though, they started giving everyone a Visa gift card. My boss also gave us movie theater gift certificates, so all in all I can't complain.
Any job openings? They sound like a nice employer who appreciates their staff. Hell, I would take a pat on the back at this point.
