I gave pretty generous Christmas bonusus to my employees this year. I would not feel good if I didn't reward the fantastic job done. When I worked for others I really looked forward to my Christmas bonus so I am sticking to that kind of a mentality.

A friend started a job about 6 months ago at this software shop that's a part of 100M+ per year company. The guy put in insane hours and turned out a project almost a month ahead of schedule that already helped the company secure 2 new clients roughly worth a $1M over the next year or so. About a month ago I told him he should be expecting a hefty Christmas bonus. Guess what? No bonus. He has asked around and apparently since the existence of the company nobody ever got a bonus. I feel terrible for the guy and told him that if I were him I'd look for another job and until he finds that new job not to put an hour extra at his current job. What's your take?
