A Christmas card through the post, with some sort of corporate statement in it from someone faceless. 
Used to get a xmas card with a Ā£1 scratch card inside,No scratch card inside this year think the budget has been cut
After delivering to a good customer this morning, I was given a very nice bottle of Malt, and told in no uncertain terms how much they appreciate my going the extra mile for them when required (which is quite often)
I replied that I very much appreciated their long standing and continuing business, and that knowing your efforts donāt go un noticed makes all the difference.
They also give me very generous rates, but I managed not to mention that.!!
Iām with agency YEAH I KNOW ! and work for a large Aggregates / Tarmac company been there well over a year and both seem to be very religious ( orthodox tight arse ) and have received FA ! not even a Thankāsā¦
One year on agency working at the same place for 6 months I was given a 23lb fresh turkey 2 cases of beer and 4 bottles of spirits . It was fun getting that lot home on my motorbike !!

Iām given a bonus per shift I do in this period. So I should land Ā£580. Which is okay for an agency driver.
However, I wouldnāt call is Christmas Cheer. If I miss one I get not a thing. And that includes illness or something else out of my control. They are doing it to help their planning - but it also helps me out so I have no problem with that.

So not so much Christmas cheer as ālook how much money Iām onā 
albion:
Bottle of choice or case of beer of choice and Ā£300.00 and half the night out at the curry house paid for.
Youāve been successful in employing me.When can I start?
a bloody wagon wheel but only beacause a customer brought a tin in for the staff. there had been a fair few bottles of wine ,cases of beer ,tubs of chocolates /biscuits seen in the office but the two drivers got tiddley squat. this is a large company that claims we are all part of "the family ". can only assume us drivers have been orphaned . oh and when I got home this afternoon I had a letter informing me of my new pay rate . im too embarrassed to tell . 
lynchy:
Top wages,expenses n terms and conditions,all year
Tbf I have not got anything but Iām in a similar position, company credit card all year round. 
Also my boss/owner has given me a space in the yard for my jap import cars waiting for DVLA registration.

As opposed to everyone else who said what their xmas bonus wasā¦
Itās called by the agency and company āChristmas bonus 2018ā I think itās a fair answer.
If you donāt get, you donāt need say, "oh thanks for that ". Cheers Bobs
Sweet FA. Not even a card.
Could have gone to the local pub with everyone else for a meal and drinks paid for by the firm. But passed on it, today I was informed that I got a pay rise backdated to the start of the month. Suits me 
as a Christmas present, my dads boss has given me parking space for my 15ton daf lf, with no expectation of it ever leaving 
hes a lifesaver actually, i was days away from having to sell up! i couldnāt find anywhere to park it but the law was getting narkyā¦
my boss gave us all Ā£30 each. 
i like my dads boss better
I got 10% of the average of my last 4 pay checks, one of which was a quiet week so i got Ā£39.10 :v
We were supposed to get a crate of beer and some chocolates eachā¦but being a satellite depot, our manager couldnāt be arsed to turn up yesterday to hand them out as we got backā¦
Only the lads who managed to visit our main base got theirsā¦
I shall take great pleasure in telling him to shove them when he tries to dish them out in the new year.
Two hundred quid cash, bottle of wine, bottle of vodka and a case of beer. Could have had a hamper instead of the beer and vodka but Iāll get more use out of the drink
Got a few nice things from our customers as well, including 2 dinners this week. Nice to feel appreciated.
Ā£500 and I was self employed for 3/4 of the year! Now on the books 2 days a week. Not a bad result!
