Nothing doesn't count? Geez, that seems like it would be the worst...

Too obvious.

Dude $10 at Smith's is like two bags of Oreos.

SandYFan

12/10/18 3:06pm

Company has record year and gives me a bonus equivalent to 5

Baron

12/10/18 3:06pm

When I was at Zion's, we got $50 at the end of the year.

I worked at First Security Bank once upon a time. They'd give us

Some co-workers of mine made a fake bonus letter for another co-worker

company I work for has never done bonus's. Starting in Dec 2019. one year a 10$

Mayor of Cougartown

12/10/18 3:11pm

Do you have a time machine? How do you know what happens in 2019 and forward?

Blue for Life

12/10/18 3:16pm

because they said so.. takes a while to implement things for a company this size

Mayor of Cougartown

12/10/18 4:12pm

Bonus what is that?

Blue for Life

12/10/18 3:13pm

It's what employers give to employees they appreciate.

Mister P

12/10/18 3:14pm

Thanks 😉

Blue for Life

12/10/18 3:17pm

Is there a difference beween a bonus and a gift?

cougarfann888

12/10/18 3:15pm

Don’t remember. But While in Asia I was pressured into adding a 4 figure bonus

jholling

12/10/18 3:15pm

Wait what?

SandYFan

12/10/18 3:16pm

Sounds like an employment law violation and probably FCPA issue.

Baron

12/10/18 3:38pm

What is the meaning of this word "bonus" of which you speak?

Borg

12/10/18 3:15pm

One year my company went big and gave us a bottle of wine, lottery tickets

LaserCoug

12/10/18 3:16pm

What is wrong with lottery tickets? I get a few through out the year.

Blue for Life

12/10/18 3:18pm

It's a crappy bonus

Sandy Lyle

12/10/18 5:30pm

Might be, but he said it sucked because he is LDS.

Blue for Life

12/10/18 8:06pm

-$18.04. Not kidding

jsaskew

12/10/18 3:16pm

You pay on pre-tax? Holy smokes. That is the most hardline pay on gross ever.

SandYFan

12/10/18 3:17pm

You don't, man you must be a sinner. 😉

Blue for Life

12/10/18 3:19pm

So do I.

Mister P

12/10/18 3:19pm

Isn't paying on pre-tax the definition of paying on gross?

Skeptical Optimist

12/10/18 3:26pm

It appears I'm uneducated on the terminology.

SandYFan

12/10/18 3:32pm

Yeah, and I make $20K per year.

SuperTank

12/10/18 3:35pm

Do you deduct the cost of your student loans from tithing?

JOPE

12/10/18 4:08pm

If I went down that rabbit hole I could justify deducting nearly everything from tithing

SuperTank

12/10/18 4:25pm

Interesting. Would you have deducted tuition, fees, textbooks, etc if you didn’t need loans?

rainorsnow

12/10/18 4:31pm

Why would somebody like you, or anyone else that makes decent income pay tithing on gross

JOPE

12/10/18 3:36pm

He didn’t pay 16x what you would have.

SuperTank

12/10/18 3:46pm

I would have paid $3.20 cents on that check

JOPE

12/10/18 3:58pm

<< Deleted >>

SuperTank

12/10/18 3:59pm

I misread his math. I thought he said “about $18” not negative $18. You’re right, I’m wrong.

SuperTank

12/10/18 6:37pm

If you get a tax refund after filing, do you pay tithing on your refund? If you owe, do you “subtract” tithing?

rainorsnow

12/10/18 3:49pm

sure, if I get a refund it is usually

JOPE

12/10/18 3:56pm

also, if I have to pay at the end of the year, which I often do

JOPE

12/10/18 4:00pm

That’s what I do too.

rainorsnow

12/10/18 4:20pm

If you think that the only reason to pay tithing is to buy your way into heaven,

Skeptical Optimist

12/10/18 3:52pm

I know what tithing is, but why pay so much more than you have to?

JOPE

12/10/18 3:57pm

If you think it is something that you "have" to pay, then you don't understand

Skeptical Optimist

12/10/18 4:07pm

Of course you have to pay it

JOPE

12/10/18 4:13pm

I don't care how you pay your tithing. I am taking issue with your post saying

Skeptical Optimist

12/10/18 4:47pm

I can't tell if your question is sincere or not

Tricky

12/10/18 4:15pm

I think you’re giving most gross payers too much credit

JOPE

12/10/18 4:34pm

He didn't pay money out of pocket when he received the bonus check

Skeptical Optimist

12/10/18 4:55pm

While the tone of your question is judgmental, I'll give you a straight answer

jsaskew

12/10/18 4:07pm

this is why people have to sit in the upper bowl at the marriot center

Mayor of Cougartown

12/10/18 4:14pm

I've paid on gross my whole life. Habit. Don't want to monkey with it now,

RugbyCoug

How do you know everyone else is paying on NET?

That $250 federal tax deduction will come straight back to you when you file

I understand that. It's a short term cash issue only. Still LOL

jsaskew

What if literally every other employee in the company got a bonus but you?

KingDave

12/10/18 3:20pm

Weeks? I'd do it that day, but I guess you had to find another job first.

Mister P

12/10/18 3:23pm

That happened to my friend, said it was one of the worst days of his entire

Windward_Coug

12/10/18 3:52pm

They gave them out at the Christmas dinner. Called everyone up one by one.

KingDave

12/10/18 3:56pm

Haha. How many employees? And why did you keep parking in the boss' spot?

Sandy Lyle

12/10/18 5:35pm

A tiny mint truffle.

When I had a paper route, I really looked forward to hand delivering the paper

RugbyCoug

I loved my paper route at Christmastime. I had rich customers who weren't jerks like yours.
