....I hear 'ya man! Same type of situation happened to me as well. I found out today that I will not get my bonus this year either (about 5 figures). Believe me, I know how you feel.
However, my wife and I are friends with a couple that have a 12 year-old daughter with terminal cancer and another couple we are friends with are in the midst of a nasty divorce after being married for 18 years. Although I'm disappointed about my bonus, I am choosing to put it in perspective this holiday season and give thanks for the blessings I have.
I don't mean to be-little your situation. I have no doubt that you've earned every penny you've worked for. And indeed, it sounds as if your boss is a real a**hole. I'm just hoping that you find some peace this Christmas season and give thanks for those blessings you do have.

Clark Griswald feels your pain..
I may have passed by one of your shops last year on the tour. I took the day off and did the leg alone as I just needed a day. Sorry about whats going on in your life. This economy sucks and Christmas bonuses usually reflect it. I have a job and I am healthy for the holiday season so I cant complain too much. Happy Holidays.

What's a Christmas bonus????:biggrin:
lol
Been there & done that. When you see your boss living the good life and spending $ like it's water and bitching about paying you peanuts vs what you deserve it really blows. Get out and find something better if at all possible before he corn holes you and lets you go to replace you with an illegal immigrant!

That's the way of american business. Pay based on growth. If the business stays the same, you make less money. It's a disgusting trend.

Got a great Christmas present this year. My boss (the CEO) who happens to really be a sociopath just announced his resignation (been a two year Twilightzone nightmare).
I've been managaing subordinates for 35 years and I believe there are only two management philosophies "you are looking out for the best interest of your people" or "you are looking out for your own best interests". You can't fake it. If you "do" the first one, you get the second one; but you can't "do" the second one and expect anyhting good to happen.
I don't care so much about a raise for me but my staff (8 people), make $9.50-11.00/hr never miss a day's work (we work 24/7), never late, work well together, I have 0% turnover for 3 years and they do whatever is asked of them. He only let me give them a $.17 raise both last year and this year and he took away their one free meal a day from the cafeteria.
I tried to give one of my guys a promotion within my departments and the boss said "no way he gets the job, I want you to give it to one of my staff". I said "you're gone in a week so I'll just wait". What a maroooon.
Met the new corp VP who seems to be a great guy. I talked to my counterpart where this guy came from and he also says he is a great guy so maybe I can begin make things better for my people.
