re: Update: Christmas Bonuses

However you do it, I wouldn't wait much longer. Some people figure in those bonuses towards Christmas gifts (even though they shouldn't). The earlier people have a heads-up the better and as long as you explain that the bonuses are not going completely away, just that they are reduced I would think most people would take it well. Maybe in a morning meeting?

Me personally, I would not do it right before a Christmas party. That sounds like a set up for a potentially awkward situation.
