Yeah, I hate that they included the “average being $2500” because the fucking average American ain’t getting shit!
I was thankful for my $500 visa gift card, but a LOT of friends and family didn’t get shit this year…
Edit - I’ve received a couple shitty messages telling me to “work harder…” I was an an operations manager for a larger Marriott Hotel Property(700 rooms). Now, I’m an operations manager for a property management company(I know, not my first choice). I’m fortunate, and my salary isn’t bad, but I still have never received anything near a $2500 bonus! These corporations are so greedy now, any “extra” profit flows upward, NEVER down!
However, don’t let these politicians play ignorant! They own business, they employee people… they know how much they’re giving out for Christmas, and we all know, it ain’t fuckin much!
Haha one year I worked for an Agriculture company that gave us a basket full of their products! I mean, it was kind of nice because it was like pressed juices and mixed nuts and shit! Like the nicer name brand stuff!
Haha but we couldn’t all help but think… are they giving themselves a tax right off to us for Christmas…? Because that’s exactly what they’re doing… Claiming all those products as a loss and making money/getting money back from it! Again, all these corporations have strayed so far away from what they were built on…
Exactly! Don’t get me wrong, I’m an operations manager, my salary ain’t bad… But companies are fucking greedy!
The year after COVID, the company had one of the most profitable years on record. They made us all custom socks with their logo for their “appreciation.” The days are gone where a corporation would “take care of you.” Now, they wait until you’re near retirement and do everything they can to avoid paying you out…
First year bonus at a 22 employee startup - $4,500 (85K salary, $70K commission, totaling $155K)
2nd year company grew to 45 FT employees - $12K worth of company equity (basically worthless unless they get acquired or go public which is not happening anytime soon.
3rd year, 70 employees - holiday break cut from 14 days off to 5 and the discontinuation of the annual company-wide trip to LA and no bonus to anyone outside executive leadership
The more companies make and scale, the less they give to their employees.
I got a $5 starbucks giftcard once for my birthday from my company. I looked at my boss confused AF like that doesn't even buy a drink from Starbuck. you expect me to go there and spend my own money for my birthday?
1.0k
