Today, after having spent days working on it, I finished off a really elaborate seasonal greetings card for my boss. When I gave it to him, he took one look at it, flicked it in his trash can and said, "Fuck off, Steve." So much for a Christmas bonus. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boss decided that a mug and a public 'thank you' were a sufficient substitute for a Christmas bonus. FML
Today, my boss sent me a text message saying, "You're fired. Merry Christmas!" FML
Today, everyone at the office was finally presented with the bonuses our boss had promised to pay us by the end of last year. Turns out he was never authorized to promise any such thing, so he ended up just giving us signed "thank you" letters instead. FML
Today, I gave my boss a gift card as a late birthday present, since I wasn't in the office on his actual birthday. He accused me of trying to bribe my way to a promotion, and suspended me on the spot. FML
Today, after 3 years of hard work, very little vacation and no raises, our boss got us a crappy box of drug store cookies as an employee appreciation gift. Which he ended up eating. FML
Today, my boss sent a Christmas present… to my dog. FML
Today, I was in a bad mood after being stuck in traffic for 2 hours and late for work. I was walking to my building when I saw a 100 dollar note flying my way. A man called after me for it, but being selfish I took the note in my pocket as a little reward. That man was my boss. Yes, I'm fired. FML
Today, while at work, I was asked to see my boss. I was informed that the company would be laying off 20 people, and that I was one of them. I was told I could finish off the week, then was sent back to work. Twenty minutes later, my boss walked around and handed us all Christmas party invitations. FML
Today, while making a grand show of his generosity, my boss gave me my own commissions as a wedding gift. FML
Today, my boss asked me if I had any special plans for Christmas. After I told him I was planning a trip to Canada, he snapped, "Well, you can forget it. I need you at the office." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I guess I'm playing the devil's advocate here but shouldn't the bonus be dependent on OP's worthiness as a employee and not on his ability to make "elaborate christmas card." It is not fair to other employees. But I agree that it wa a dick move by the boss to toss the card. I had a HS teacher once who had a strict no gifts policy because she said that even unconsciousnesly she does not want to favor one student over other. made sense. I give my teachers gifts all the time for Christmas but it's right after they turn in our final grade. To me, it's a goodwill gesture because that's how my patents taught me but I can understand OP's boss's action. Especially if OP was slacking at work and then decided to give a card to make up for it. *shrugs*

That's some ignorant ass, douche bag bullshit. If start looking for another job. Ya know, one where your boss respects you as an employee and you don't have to kiss ass for a christmas bonus.

Maybe instead of using your time to make things like that, you should be doing your job and that will make him happier in the long run:)
