Well, last year I received an email from the owner of the company that indicated that a nice surprise would be arriving in the mail.  Initially, I was impressed; thought that was very nice; I thought that maybe they were sending a gift card or something.  However, It turned out to be the company calendar.  All during the holidays, there were absolutely no personal greetings from any of the supervisors, managers or company owner with HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MERRY CHRISTMAS or HAPPY NEW YEAR, etc.  The only mention of the holidays was an email from my supervisor with a request to give my preference for which holiday I would be working, and then to receive an assignment back from her, indicating whether my preference was approved or not.  My first choice was denied. 

This year, I'm with a different company.  I have received no calendars or cards or anything solid.  A few of the managers and QA had holiday greetings written in their status sections on the chat board. Despite the fact that I am an employee, nobody forced me to work on any holiday, just asked me whether I would be working or not.  Despite there being no SPECIAL TREAT arriving in the mail, I think I prefer my current company's approach.

Last year's company could have kept the calendar, as far as I'm concerned.  The company owner could have sent everyone a freebie ecard and I would have been more impressed, had more warm, fuzzy feelings, etc., etc.  She could have done this without spending a single cent.

Bottom line is that I would much rather receive a kindly greeting from the major players than to receive a calendar or a mug or pen with their advertisements displayed on it. 

Just my opinion, of course.

I am up and at it early, having our Thanksgiving dinner at 5:30 so turkey can cook while I make some much needed Xmas money. 

Hope you all have a good one.

Christmas Day.  Yes, it was $25.00 (twenty-five).  I lost that much this morning when there was NO WORK.  I had so hoped to have a good paycheck this pay period, and was working very hard to have one -- as I need the money SO BAD.

I was appreciative of the $25, rather than some kind of novelty advertising token with company logo on it, like some MTSO's would give to a prospective client, etc.  Oh, yes, I made very good use of the $25.  I took it and paid my high-speed internet bill, a necessary tool for working my job --  which the $25 was very much short of paying that phone charge.

THANK YOU TT for the $25. 

Hey....our bullentin had Christmas trees on it....what more do you want? :)

That's all I really know.  I only wanted part-time.  The recruiter got right back to me though and I applied through their website.  Basically, I just sent them a resume.  Things may have changed.

Company bonus just extended....guess I didn't need to get up at 4 AM! 

Cyber-terrorists are horrible, but turned out to be a financial blessing.  Those of you who work for our company know what I'm talking about.
