Last year some of those people who got G1s were getting 20k bonuses. I can't know for sure, but I'm betting quite a few people were not overly impressed this year...

Got a $50 check for Christmas, and will be getting $500 if I pulled off a 4.0 this semester (if not, it'll be $300). My employer's pretty awesome, they have some nice little perks. It's definitely not a bad gig for part time college work.

While I didn't get a Xmas bonus directly from my employer, except a box of chocolates, I did get a $1500 kickback from one of the vendors who's product I sell. Nice preloaded Visa debit card.

 

[SupaDupaPan]

I did get a bonus after all, $100 check and 2x Amex gift cards for $100 each + xmas presents from the boss :]

Found out that I'm getting an internship offer for this summer w/ the same company from last summer, and that another company will let me know in January sometime if they want to offer me an internship.

Sounds like it's time to get cousin Billy Bob to fire up the RV and go kidnap the company president and make him do some explaining to your family!

Got to keep my job so far. I got an unofficial promotion since there is a hiring freeze it's not offical... lovely christmas gift.

Low-mid 5 figures. I have no right to complain but honestly was hoping for more based on some big wins we scored last year.
