I work in non-profit and times have been really tough the last 3-4 years with wages and hiring having been pretty much frozen. Apparently they have a small amount of cash left over this year, so for the first time that anyone I talked to can remember, we are getting a Christmas bonus.

It's not a lot (I think it will end up being quite a bit less than a weeks wages) but it is free money that will make sure I am not playing catching trying to pay my tuition in January!

I know a lady who is a personal assistant for a reasonably large company in town here and pulled in 20k for a bonus last year. That kind of stuff makes me sick.
