Why would you say I think too much of myself? Wow. Sorry for saying my opinion.
Because you keep claiming that I'm upset by your opinion.

Of course they will tax your bonus. They want your $$$$, do they not?
They put that into the policy so that everyone will know. We often get cash awards...on your next check that amount will be listed and taxed...however there is nothing in our policy that say Christmas or any other holiday...therefore if you'd been hired to work for my company, on Friday when they handed you your Christmas bonus (according to you) you would have quit.

Quote:
Look, Chatteress asked. I replied to her. You got into it and wrote that whole "Quit" thing so I replied back. I am not arguing anything. Just replying back to Chatteress
. Sorry, that was my fault for not realizing a conversation on a public forum was a private conversation.

Quote:
I do not believe in mixing religion with work policies. Simple as that.
That's fine. I understood that when you posted it the first time. So if you accepted a position and later found out they mixed religion with their work policies you would quit...still not sure why you assume this makes me angry.
Quote:
And if they did happen to make it a "Christmas bonus" as you stated, I would decline it. If they say no and add it on anyways, I would give that money away to charity or something I believe in. I want nothing to do with it.
Oh so you would decline it but you wouldn't quit? Okay well I guess maybe that's my fault for not understanding the phrase "I would not work with a company who gave Christmas bonuses"

I got a bonus. It was tucked inside a Christmas card. Does that make it a Christmas bonus? Do I care?

That would depend, what kind of image was on this "Christmas card"?

It was a scene of a Victorian-type house in the snow. There was a wreath on the door.

You give that impression...

I don't get a Christmas bonus

You are forgiven. But I do not see why you are saying sorry anyways. I never said that you could not reply. All I said was that I wrote back to Chatteress simple as that.

Because you sure seem like you were.

Yes I would.

Someone has some reading and attitude issues. Big time. I do think it is your fault and yes, I would QUIT (just so you get it this last time) and give that money away.

If you dont get it by now, I am so sorry. "Christmas bonuses" suck and I do not believe in mixing religion with work.

Hope you understand now.

Kat, I am sure happy you were able to keep that bonus no matter what it showed on the card. Those who say they would not keep a Christmas bonus sound to me like they aren't really very smart. Who cares what kind of bonus it is? Take the money, that is left after you GET to pay income tax on the full amount, and run to the bank with it. Anyone could forget how much that was in time.

I got it the first time around, which is why I said it. I find no fault in your choices (even though you seem to want to believe I do) I simply stated that based on your comments if you were to receive a Christmas bonus from your employer you would quit that job because you don't believe in mixing religion and work...I have no idea why you have such a hard time understanding that.
