Don't Wait Too Long for Bonus This Year By Jane Han, Korea Times (December 10, 2007)

| "Oftentimes, many employers attempt to slip by the holiday season with gifts, instead of monetary rewards," said Kim Hyung-jin, a business consultant of Clear Management. "However, no employee will think a fruit basket or bottle of wine equals to that of a bonus. It's a no-brainer that they want money." |

Reminds me of National Lampoon's Christmas where Chevy Chase goes off on his boss for giving him a membership in the Jelly of the Month club instead of his bonus:

| This reminds me of the 'bonus' we receive at the end of our contracts. Employers usually act like it's straight out of their pocket and it's a parting gift. No, it's legally and contractually necessary. It's part of my salary. It's not a 'bonus'. It's severance. |

You mention Chuseok. What about New Year's Day? What about Seol-nal (Lunar New Year) and other bonus times? |

I tried to warn him about the ghost of Christmas past... |

In our case, it's law to get a contract end bonus. Not an Xmas bonus or a year end bonus.
If I get anything at all as a gift, I will graciously accept it. Otherwise, no one has a duty to give me anything. |

No, but it sure is a pisser to watch the KTs need a forklift to carry their gifts to the car. |

Hmmmm...Last time I checked, we weren't in North America. Plenty of trolls posting from there, though.  |
