Wow! That is some nerve. No raises but want $30 for the boss.

I work for the government so I dont ever expect a Christmas bonus. My department just had a little party where we played dirty santa and had a pot luck dinner. It was cool.

We have a big get together every year that is "on the clock" where we draw names for prizes and it is catered. Doesnt cost us a dime. My first line supervisor buys every one in his department a gift, all the same thing like a soft sided brief case or something of the like.

I guess I work for a pretty good place. I could complain, but after hearing some of you guys, I would feel bad about complaining.
