We get a christmas bonus though. I guess they used to do a big open bar party but it kept getting more and more out of control and they decided to kill it before people got sued, fired, knocked up or some combination of those. :lol: These are just some of the reasons we don’t have parties. ---

I’m a non-exempt employee, and don’t get bonus money at the end of the year, so I think that I’m at least owed a party and a door prize… Do you work for citigroup? ---

Yep sounds like Citi to me. No word on HSBC yet, we got hit a lot less than any of the other US banks because we’re so international, but maybe they will cancel it anyway since North America was their worst performing business unit this year. ---
