Some years at some firms I got nothing. Once I got a 30% bonus. Once I got a $100 bill. A few times I got some fairly expensive impractical decorative object. You never know. I count 2023 as one of the better years in this regard.
Got a $8000 bonus, which was a very nice touch after usually getting ~$500 before, while working for smaller firms.
Got a 7% raise too, but will have to remind management about it because I still haven't seen it hit my account.
On another note, firm did have a good year and I like it was mentioned in the letter. I used to have a boss who purchased multiple cars and properties while I worked there, hired new people and grew company exponentially, and still had an audacity to say they're barely scraping by and can't afford anything.
I'll never forget the firm where they laid off 15% of the staff one Friday and then following week, one of the partners buys a boat and another one pulls up to the office in a big new Audi.
I’ve only been with my new firm since September but it’s clear I made the right choice. They gave every employee $1000(~2,000 team members) because the firm did well. Since I joined so late in the year I expected nothing for 2023 but they still gave me a 10% bonus:
I couldn’t believe it and when I talked to the SVP to thank him later that week he said he did it because it was the right thing to do. After 11 years at my previous employer, feeling vindicated going into 2024.
About $800 holiday bonus for me (same as last couple of years). Larger year-end bonus will come sometime in the next month or two when the financials are all wrapped up and performance reviews are done.
Year End Bonuses
8.3% bonus (one month's salary) + 10% raise.

Don't let employees get in the way of you having your shining artificial penis. lol
No bonus this year. Hoping for a raise in April.

Bumping per my usual the last few years.
