No, but I love the idea.

I've never gotten anything from work as a bonus .. no money bonus, no turkey, not even a company travel mug. Zitch. Zero. Zip.

We used to get a $15.00 gift certificate to the grocery store, but we've been getting turkeys for the last 2 years. I work at a nursing home and the cooks distribute them, and we can pick them up at the end of our shift, LOL.

Nope. If dh had a perk like that, it would mean he worked at a company that cared about its employees and, apparently, we can't have anything like that.

DH's boss alternates...one year it's a turkey, the next a ham. Either way we are happy with it.

I never worked anywhere that did that. DH did one year and we got a turkey. I think it is an awesome gift from a work place.

One of the worst "bonuses" dh ever got was $50. Why was that not a great bonus??? Because he got it and than the company took it out of his next paycheck. So it really wasnt a bonus at all. It was just like a loan on dh's own money.
