This goes hand in hand with an earlier post about an article advocating that people should NOT go into machining as a living. I guess we’re quite lucky here in TX where the pay rates are quite good for machinist compared to other parts of the country. Anyway, a Facebook machining group was having a heated discussion on whether they got/deserved a Christmas bonus. This was the best response (before taxes)
I work for Frontier - any bonus looks good to me.
Bonus, what’s that? Lol
Congrats Mr. Penman, you have done well.
I agree - just look at his hourly rate
I’m missing something obvious here. At first glance, 16k times 0 hours equals 0 dollars.
that’s the joke…
I’m a teacher. I don’t understand the concept of “the bonus”.
I hear ya. I was self employed for the last 8 years. I hardly understood paycheck. although, my current employer even included us temps in the Christmas festivities and giveaways. Very nice of them. cheers!
You deserve every moment of good. Congrats on the success!
Idk. They buy us lunch and shove a candy cane in the box. It’s like the only time we get fed or have a non cafeteria option so it feels like a bonus
Government jobs are non revenue generating for the most part hence no bonus.
Reminds of the old joke about a product manager telling his clueless boss:
We can’t sell it below cost.
Why not, we’ll sell a million of them.
We’ll lose money on each one.
But we’ll make it up in volume.
Same amount of Christmas bonus dollars I received !
However I continue to meet great new folks both as customers and at the space(or both in some cases-you know who you are) - far better a deal in my opinion.
The opposite is Law Firms - they contribute zero to our nation’s worth yet give out bonuses for “winning” all the time…

I got to stay home all week last week, albeit on call, but still. Being home for a week was a bonus
