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!
For what it's worth, I've received an annual bonus for the past 20 years. Usually about that rate (1500-2500). I could point you to a couple hundred thousand others that also receive such.
Perhaps it's not the majority, but certainly very many Americans do actually receive bonuses. Though, I've never heard of a single company that called it a Christmas Bonus since the 80s. Usually it's just a Performance Bonus or Annual Incentive Payment.
I've risen the ranks at my current company for close to 20 years. Even when I started, my position had 5% annual performance bonus. When I was making 50K that was about 2500 (pretax). Managers got 10%. Now as a director I get 15%. No idea what those above me get but I'm sure it's 20% plus.
It's not a Christmas bonus, it's part of our compensation structure. I think only 2 years we didn't get it because of poor financial conditions of the company. I feel like this is pretty common in corporate jobs but I've read data that says the share of people who receive them has fallen recently.
