I work for an automotive supply company, not one of the national chains, but we have close to 100 stores in the northeast and central east coast. I'm semi retired and not desperate for the cash but it keeps me busy and makes life a lot easier. The company decided to give us a Christmas bonus this year, just the counter and management workers, not drivers or stock people. I was pretty surprised when I looked at my direct deposit stub and found out they gave us a $25.00 bonus on a separate check and taxed it. My grand take home after deductions was a whopping $3.87. I feel like sending it back to them with a note saying they obviously need it more than me but that wouldn't be very gracious of me would it? I know they didn't have to give us anything, and the taxes are unavoidable I suppose but WTF? $25.00 won't even but lunch for 2 at McDonalds anymore and $3.87 won't buy the morning paper and a cup of coffee.
