Default Bonus time...
Just found out what my bonus is going to be for last year's performance at work and it's the 2nd highest I ever received in 19 years with the company. Also got a good raise.
That came as a surprise as bonuses in recent years were not very good.. Got double raise and bonus compared to last year.

You spend half your work day playing video games and watching Netflix while you wait for your kids to get out of school.

Wow, the bar is super low at your company.

All that aside, congratulations.

Congrats. I have to confess when I read the thread title 'Bonus Time' I thought you were going to talk about new things to do while waiting for your Tesla to charge.

I thought this would be about an extra long charging stop.

That's the way IT is at times. I worked like 20 Saturdays this year. I got comp time for the overtime, so I had about 6 weeks of vacation as well..

No bonus here. Not only that, they took away my raise and laid people off. FJB.

End of year bonus really throws off all the calculations I did for taxes, but it's better than a kick in the balls. If only the company could figure out a way to hand out bonuses that don't go through payroll and get taxed in the dick at 35%
I mean, why can't I just take a few grand worth of amazon gift cards or something

Kill two birds with one stone and take her to a Bu-cees or a Cracker Barrel or whatever else the truck stop/charging station has to offer. Win-win.
I can't imagine anything more electrically charged and exiting than an EV birthday!!
