Good lord...if I got a $6,000 "profit sharing" bonus from my company I would go nuts!

Our bonuses are usually "only" around 500-1000 a year..

I haven't seen a bonus at the huge defense contractor I work for in the entire 31 years I've worked there.................:(

Yep, thanks I know what they are, I'm just being sarcastic. I won't ever see one in my current line of work and my wife has been in the private sector at the same job for 12 years and NEVER seen a bonus check. We live in a depressed area. Just wanted to add a little perspective that some people will NEVER see a bonus check in their life. There are a lot of things worse than receiving a lower bonus check, like NO check. Enjoy if you get one.

Ahhh gotcha. My wife is a school teacher so no bonus for her. Hell, she hasn't gotten a raise in 7 years :(. Glad I have still received my annual raise and bonus

Wow, if getting "ONLY" a $6900 BONUS this year makes a person slack off and do a shoddy job, they don't need to be employed, they can get the hell out in my opinion. I don't think people will be upset with their bonus. The work will continue as usual. Like others have already said, if I got a bonus in the multiples of thousands (or at all really...) I'd feel like I'm won the freaking lottery!

Tell your wife I know the feeling. ;) Glad you have, enjoy and I mean that truly.

The "entitlement" attitude is unfortunately pervasive in many parts of society. I received a $100 refund check from my mortgage company recently and I about crapped my pants. I literally can't imagine getting a check for 7 grand just because I belonged to an organization. Must be nice.

In the grand scheme of things the bonus checks are earned. I've been there 20 years and have a bad right shoulder and hip. Over half the people on my line alone have had surgery to repair tendinitis, rotator cuffs (spelling?), knees and other things. One guy is out right now for a double knee replacement. Don't get me wrong, we get good pay and benefits but we pay for it in the end. Not many of us walk out in good health.

In my 5 years of working in the Security/Law Enforcement profession i have NEVER seen a bonus check and never will.

Jeez, they only got $6900 in bonus this year? Get out the pitchforks boys and girls, it's time to strike! This oppression of the working class cannot be ignored!

Who said people getting $6900 were complaining?
