I was clicking through our online payroll trying to calculate my taxes and saw a paycheck for tomorrow when we just got paid last Friday. A few more clicks and saw under the "Bonus:" headline, a nice sum sitting there. I have a feeling my boss will call me into his office later today and tell me that I'm getting a bonus AND a raise, but for now the bonus feels nice.
Germany, here I come! My in-laws are going there for their 60th birthday in June/July and invited everybody to come with. We just have to pay our tickets there and then food/lodging will be taken care of by our in-laws.

Nice, and congrats!
I'm going to Germany next fall for work, and am taking a week of vacation after (since work is paying for the plane ticket).
Now you can use that bonus money to rent a car and go drive the 'Ring!!!

I'm jealous.. I deserve and need a raise, wont happen. also wouldn't mind a small bonus either.. also won't happen.. That's what I get for working for a mega company that's majority share holder is a fucking hedge fund...

nice! That's how I find out about my raises, they get loaded into my "compensation history" before my boss ever talks to me about it.

I'm staying for a few extra days after the in-laws leave and visiting France with my wife, then seeing a friend who lives in Dutchyland (the Netherlands)

Everybody deserves a bonus if for nothing other than paying for the holidays. And raises should automatically happen for inflationary reasons

That is awesome! Be sure to act surprised.

It'll be perfect practice for getting that gift you never wanted for Christmas!

Have fun. If you're in Berlin, check out the DDR Museum.

we can get upto 4% a year, or basically $1000, or $19 a week. which after taxes I might see like $10 extra in my pay check. woo fucking hoo.. the worst part is the company restructured a few years ago and now there is about a 10k gap in pay between me and some one doing my job that started 2 years before me..

Das ist gut!!
Christoph is happy for you, and needs to have a conversation about the tenants you have hiding in the basement.

And to be fair, I think this is when he makes the deal with Brad Pitt while the theater is blowing up

I can't remember man, i have seen this probably 17 - 20 times but never in one full go only bits here bits there. Was great what I saw, but I don't like to sit still for such long periods of time.

Congrats! If you have a moment to get to the 'Ring be sure and post some dates. I might be able to head up and take you around :)

Also, because of this post I now have the German national anthem on infinite repeat in my head. Gee thanks Sebastian Vettel and Mercedes this year.

Will do! I would greatly appreciate that! :D

DDR is the acronym for Deutsche Demokratische Republik (East Germany). I would guess the DDR Museum would have a lot of Cold War type history stuff in it.

"I have a feeling my boss will call me into his office later today and tell me that I'm getting a bonus AND a raise, but for now the bonus feels nice."
That's an unmissable opportunity to call him first and demand a raise/bonus or you're leaving :)

Oh amazing! I'll definitely make sure to check that out. The last time I was in Berlin was only for a day or two so I didn't have much time to check out museums

hahaha I'll wait until the bonus has been deposited into my account first :)
