Believe this...................Keep in mind I have worked at my company for 16 years....The warehouse manager has worked there 17 years and one other girl has been there 28 years...Not a lot of turnover but a few things have NEVER happened. You don't get a raise but once a year...That's it and that's all....and you get one bonus once a year at Christmas...That's it and that's all...None of us have EVER seen either onr of these things happen.......EVER
So today...we're all talking etc., kind of late in the afternoon ( the bosses are all out of town on a business trip) and the accountant gives us all our paychecks for Monday. We all have direct deposit..(have to if you work there) and there are TWO envelopes....COUNT "EM TWO.....That would be TWO...not one TWO......It turns out we were all given a surprise bonus based on an wonderful year last year....HOW ABOUT THAT!!!! Now it wasn't nearly as big as our yearly bonus but extra money, late in February is absolutely FANTASTIC.... Oh I tell you what, working for this company some days is just wonderful!!! whoo,,,,whoo.... whoo............
ahhhh Life is Good!!!!!!
Sweet!

Wow! I'm thrilled for you! What a nice surprise! That's almost unheard of now days! The last "real" job I had decided to change quarterly bonuses into yearly bonuses, and then when the year was up, "ooops! we meant no bonuses!". You must work for a very successful company. Do they have any openings?

That's AWESOME! Congratulations! I wish I could find a job like that! Heck, I wish I could find almost any kind of full-time job right now; the college is only part-time and there's never a guarantee from semester to semester that I'll have anything at all. But, I'm so happy for YOU!
