I totally agree with you ... you shouldn't expect a bonus.

However ... let's flip that round for a moment ...

90% of employers EXPECT, and often PUSH an employee to work MANY hours overtime ... putting lots of time in ... especially in the ... ahem ... 'creative' industries, such as design, videogames etc ....

I'm sorry, but they shouldn't even come close to asking an employee to put one single hour a year in that is not contracted, if they don't have the balls to put up a bonus to reward that person.
