I got nothing!! Zilch!! Nada!! Niente!! for X-Mas from my employer. I wasn't expecting anything so no big deal...It would have been nice to be surprised though.
They even cancelled the company funded X-Mas parties worldwide and, if we wanted one, we had to pay for it ourselves. Seemingly only 27% (down from 34% last year) of companies still pay for their staff parties so it's not really that unusual.
I did get a serious payrise/promotion for 2001 along with a transfer out of Italy, so I'm a pretty happy bunny overall.
Whooaahh!!!
