"During my time with the company as a consumer electronic service engineer, the annual Christmas bonus given to all employees was a bag of potatoes," he writes. Apparently a relative of the boss owned a potato farm

My first year with my company, I received a $20 gift card to a supermarket.  14 years later, that is my one and only Christmas bonus.
