I need to vent. I'm so sad.
It all started last night with the se-x issue. I've been upset about it since. But then I perked myself up and went to a holiday luncheon at my work. I had a very nice time. It was great to be around my friends there and have adult conversation! But after it was over, everyone except myself was handed an envelope. My boss was very secretive about it around me and wouldn't tell me what it was even though I blatently said "whats that" Then my coworker came up to her and said "Boss, the amount is insane" So I figured it was a bonus. We all weren't expecting to get bonuses this year but I guess they did... I did not get one of the envelopes. Well I thought "maybe they mailed it to my house since I'm on Maternity leave" came home, mails here... envelope is not. So I just didn't get one. I just feel very unappreciated right now by them. I worked my a$$ off 9 months of the year until I was put on bedrest because I couldn't be there and not work or stay off my feet. I also, on 2 seperate occasions have gone in there on a weekend when my boss asked me to unlock the doors for some workers and I went in there, and did some work for them.. Unpaid. I decided I'd call my co worker and ask if they were bonuses just so that if they werent I wasn't getting upset over nothing. She said that they were gift cards not checks. STILL. I'm upset over this. Especially since I heard her say that they amount was insane. I feel really down about it and hurt.
Could just be left over from last night and this is just the icing on the cake. But I just needed to vent about it.
Thanks for reading if you did.
Re: I need to vent. I'm so sad.
I don't have anything to say..I'm sorry about you being upset. I'd be upset too!
wow, that's not right. Your boss should still have included you.
I'm so sorry jayme!
Well, technically that is illegal because a bonus (even a gift card, which is considered a bonus) is earned over the course of a year...not a day. Thus, you are absolutely entitled to whatever the others received and I would absolutely call someone (HR) and inquire about your gift card.
That is one of the crappiest things I've heard.....
J - Is it possible that it could have been put in todays mail and you just didn't receive it. From what you have mentioned, it seems as though you are a valuable employee. I am sure you would be rewarded.

At first I felt horrible for reading your post - but then I got down to your pic of your lil' on and you got yourself one gorgeous little girl!! She is priceless and I'd take that little one anytime over a bonus.
But yeah, it's still not fair. Sorry it's hurting you
i am so sorry. ?i would discuss it with your boss. ?at least find out the reason why you did not earn a bonus. ?and if it is just because you were on leave then i definitely think it should have just been prorated in my opinion. they should be able to offer you answers. ?and it will show initiative on your part to discuss it with them. ?then they may realize they can't get away with being cheap and treating you unfairly. ?
good luck. ??
