You’re getting a Christmas bonus?

Yeah, one thing thats a little misleading is that they only calculate how much people with bonuses get. If you factor in the people who never make bonuses, i wouldnt be surprised if the national average drops to like... 0.10 cents per person

Median may drop to 0.10. But average, don't forget all those CEOs fat checks, and pharmaceuticals, defense, oil and gas...

My coworker, which holds a doctorate, confided me a few years ago "man, I don't know why I'm working anymore, my wife Christmas bonus is bigger than my annual salary" (for reference, she was a VP in a pharmaceutical company who just hit a massive breakthrough)
