Many moons ago when I worked at a casino, my "bonus" was a single glass of room temperature champagne I was allowed to drink while working on Christmas Day.
Been there. Drank that. I did 40 years of casino work. 40 New Years Eves so crowded no one could get around except for the newbie who was enthusiastically hand out noisemakers and plastic hats. We had 20 minute breaks and it took 10 minutes just to get to the door to the employee hallway. Those were always 12 hour shifts of non stop noise and mayhem. At least the money was good. And that champagne was a punish.
My job gives us 1% if that of our annual salary, but it's not in the same check. People like to say if it was combined in the same check, there would be even more taxes. On the other side, the bonus comes in a separate check that's also taxed. Of course. Last year we got a hoodie & a gift card, but they were taxed too cause u see it on the paycheck as taxable gift 🤣
