re: Christmas bonus. What do you usually get?

Or don't separate the sick/vacation days. Roll them together. That's how my company does it. You're sick, it's "personal time off".

That's a shitty deal. My health shouldn't determine a bonus. My performance should.

It's a clever way to say you offer sick days and bonuses, when you really don't.

My company offers pto, and they want you to use it. They also offer quarterly bonuses, and they are based purely on your performance. The partners also don't post on message boards about how employees will only get paid if they do what they're told and stroke the egos that don't quite get satisfied via Internet posting.

But, to each his own.

Terribly abused. Viewed differently when you're the one cutting the checks.

This. And even if you lump vacation/sick, they still miss days without pay. I then have to bring in part time help or suffer a decrease in productivity. Although, ones that do this often don't tend to stay very long.

What a whacky concept!

Where did he say that?

Did you read the rest of his post? Dude seems like a huge tool and piece of shite boss.

If you believe any of what that dude post I have some prime real estate I would like to sell you.

Our company encourages people to take theirs as well.

But back to health. If people are legitimately sick, they don't get a bonus that they could use to help pay for those med bills even if they outperformed others. It's just incentive to show up regardless what what you're doing and, as someone mentioned, even if you're actually sick.

It seemed insinuated. Hence the question.

I got my name put on my door, a view from a high-rise, and a nice set of knives and I haven't even started yet.

Personally or not if you read his posts without bias you would see how much of a tool he comes off as on here.
