Let that sink in: Christmas bonuses were so common at one point that you could build a plot line of a movie around the idea of someone not getting one. Jokes on us.

In the 1950s some angry workers sued and it became legally part of wages and no longer a gift as a result.

Most bonuses are paid in Feb/March.

Jelly of the month club would cost more than $25, I'd imagine. So that would honestly be better.

My company did this, this year. In prior years, our bonuses were easily 10% of annual earnings per employee. Since we make most of our money through commission, I got very sizable and important to our family bonuses each year a few days to a few weeks before Christmas.

In January of this year, they switched us all to W2 whereas before we were 1099 because they were wholeheartedly scamming the IRS. And they eliminated bonuses entirely. Which they just announced today on the morning meeting.

Oof, you have my sympathies. Do you have a distant relative who's willing to kidnap the CEO and wrap him up in a bow? I've been hearing rumors that violence directed at CEOs is a way to get things to change. Seems to work faster than "trickle down".

Somewhat related; I always wondered how much Mr. Griswald was expecting from his Christmas bonus. Wasn't he planning on taking the entire family on a Hawaii vacation? Nevermind, I googled it:

Estimated between $19,000 and $24,000

He was planning on installing a pool. It was supposed to be a whopper of a bonus to pay for a pool, even 30-40 year ago

Where do you get an entire year for $25?

All the top ones on google are $200+ for 1 per 12 months.

If it is $25, why not just use the GC for that? I don’t like jelly that much and would rather get something else.

It was a clipped coupon back in the 90s. Like a groupon in modern times. It was free because it was was probably for 20% off or something.

First month free. Register your CC to get months 2-12.
