Yes you can, with the roof down obviously

My company, it would seem, to be one of a few that still pay a Christmas bonus. We get a bonus July and December. The only problem, the IR have a field day as well.

Usually we do - no chance this year. More likely I'll get made redundant, unfortunately.

Having been made redundant 3 times in the last 10 years I'm finally working in a sector where there is plenty of work and plenty of jobs - so a Christmas bonus had better be forthcoming! Possibly even enough for a set of Muz mats!

As seems to be the case with a lot of people, my Crimbo bonus will be keeping my job. My company are currently going through a process of making 350-400 people redundant.

Having said that, I may actually come out of a redundancy better off financially (though it's a hassle).

I think the Crimbo bonuses are definitely becoming a thing of the past. Hey Tim1212UK - you seem to be doing alright - what sector are you working in??
