(stolen from 09) Do you get a X-mas Bonus and what kind

Original post by jteach711

Being a teacher I have never gotten a X-mas bonus, just some candles and coffee mugs from my students.

I am shocked to hear soooo many people get amazing bonuses.

Do you get one and is it good?

Yeah, I wish. I work for a non-profit. Not happening.

I got $100 cash and I've only been in my new job about a month. I'm afraid to ask other people what the 'normal' bonus amount is. That would be rude right? I guess I'll have to wait till next Christmas to find out.

DH gets a FAT bonus though...we're talking in the thousands. Just another one of the many perks of his amazing jobs. I'm not complaining.

when i worked in the city this WAS my self proclaimed bonus..

now i get the same mugs ,candles and dollar store crap that the other teachers were talking bout..now one year i did get a guess purse and a bath and body works triple play (u know, shower gel, spritz and soap)..

oh and inevitably some little girl will draw me a picture on looseleaf papermusing a pencil and a blue and black ink pen that will proclaim me as the best teacher ever..

Yea...I wish they would reimburse us for everything we put into our classrooms!! If i listed everything...they'd be broke!! But beggars can't be choosers. They could give us nothing!

Even though I was laid off, they still gave me a portion of my bonus, but they taxed the hell out of it! It came out to about $5500 for this year. If I wasn't laid off, my full bonus would have been double that after taxes.
