"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.

Yeah, people bitch a lot......my old job, I got exactly zero in terms of a Christmas bonus or gift.....now at my new job, I received exactly the same thing.......and I don't really give a shit.
