My first thought was, 'don,t be filthy', but realising you meant something else I got a much appreciated cash sum from the government (and taxpayer, thank you) as a pensioner. Happy days

Ours is the end of year into summer hols, as well as Xmas. We get ......one drink at a farewell lunch (with 2 1/2 hrs of speeches farewelling colleagues/friends)...and we pay for our own lunch. Still it's nice company, and we're paid to be at work that day, I s'pose. Comes of working for the Govt (in Education). Sue (in NZ)

I work for a well known bank which begins with B. We get a big fat ZERO at Christmas and have been told that the end of year bonuses for our division are likely to be minimal. This is in the face of record profits and board members receiving million pound bonuses.

as far as I know - nothing. last year we got a £30 amazon voucher, which is OK I guess

We all used to get a chocolate Santa and a card from our boss. Then his wife stopped working at the place that made the chocolate santas so we just got the card. Then last year we all had to share the same e-mail. Times must be getting hard for those at the top.
