Question by Bbbbb: How much should Christmas bonuses be?
My friend is an internal medical doctor. Been in practice for about 6 yrs. I know he made approx 1.3 million dollars this yr. He has a staff of 4 and sees about 70 pts daily. He offers no vacation/sick/personal time to his staff except to one full time employee. He offers no retirement, insurance etc. He is wanting to know how much of a Christmas bonus if any he should give his staff or if a gift certificate to a local restaurant would be enough.
The full time employee has been with him since he opened and isn’t even making $ 14 per hour. Another staff is making less than $ 12 and the other two are making less than $ 9 per hour.

Best answer:

Answer by Em Hotep
It should be how much he thinks his staff is worth, especially if he wants to show his gratitude and keep them. I have only worked for one company that gave bonuses and I got a $ 20 gift certificate to a local grocery store, it was a nice gesture.

a childs view of retirement (what do u think??)?

After a Christmas break, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holidays. One small boy wrote the following:
We always used to spend Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma. They used to live here in a big brick home, but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida. Now they live in a place with a lot of other retarded people. They all live in little tin boxes. They ride on big three-wheeled tricycles and they all wear nametags because they don’t know who they are. They go to a big building called a wrecking hall; but if it was wrecked, they got it fixed because it’s all right now. They play games and do exercises there, but they don’t do them very good.

There is a swimming pool there. They go into it and just stand there with their hats on. I guess they don’t know how to swim.

As you go into their park, there is a dollhouse with a little man sitting in it. He watches all day so they can’t get out without him seeing them. When they can sneak out they go to the beach and pick up shells that they think are dollars.

My Grandma used to bake cookies and stuff, but I guess she forgot how. Nobody cooks, they just eat out. They eat the same thing every night, Early Birds. Some of the people are so retarded that they don’t know how to cook at all, so my Grandma and Grandpa bring food into the wrecked hall and they call it "pot luck."

My Grandma says Grandpa worked hard all his life and earned his retardment. I wish they would move back up here, but I guess the little man in the dollhouse won’t let them out.

Have you ever done any of these fun gifts exchange with your friends and family?

1) Secret Santa. Everyone knows this one, I hope.
2) White Elephant Gift Exchange – I’m too lazy to explain this one so check out wikipedia for the rules: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant_gift_exchange
3) "Stupid Gifts Exchange" – In this gifts exchange, everyone brings a gag gift and sits in a circle. My teacher read "The Night Before Christmas" and every time she says the word "the", we pass our gift to one person on the right. By the time the story is finished, the gift we end up with is that one we keep.

This year, I’m doing White Elephant. (=

maggie asked:


for Christmas. I don’t want to give the “usual” generic gifts (lotions, soaps etc). So far I have the following: journals, playing cards, speciality coffee and teas. It seems like so many of the elderly are forgotten at Christmas, I really want to do something special for them. Does anyone have some suggestions for other gifts that I could donate?
