My company (Conseco Insurance) decided that since it was a year of 'rebuilding' for the company, and with so much devastation across the country, that they would take what would have been the employees' Christmas Bonus and give it to select charities (not only a tax write off, but none of us had any say in which charities got the dough).

Did they ever stop to think how many of the hourly folks count on that bonus to buy gifts for their kids, or food for the family Christmas meal? Apparently, despite how shitty our pay is, we don't qualify as a 'charity', although we damn sure should in alot of cases.

THEN, they turn around and award our CEO - who's only been CEO for a year a $900k bonus. WTF?

I sent an email to corporate relations stating that they could have taken that $900k, given each of the 1800 employees a $100 check, making us all deliriously happy and fired up to continue working for the company into 2006, and Kirsch could still have had $700k - a pretty damn nice Christmas present.
