‘For Christmas we got a coupon for a cup of coffee…from the coffee shop in the building. The coffee was already free’: Employees share the worst «bonuses» their jobs have ever given them
Getting a bonus means different things to different people.

‘They’re showing us their contempt’: Bosses cut employee bonuses by 90% without warning, claim it reflects the quality of their work

‘A block of wood instead of a bonus’: The worst and funniest corporate gifts workers have been given in lieu of money

Gift-giving is a tough game. You don’t want to go too big, but you definitely don’t want to go too small. Especially if you’re someone’s employer. In this case, it probably would have been better to give nothing than to give this sorry array of junk. Hey, I love a granola bar as much as the next …
