When I owned a firm with employees (solo now), I would close the office from Christmas Eve through New Year's Day and pay my employees for the time off.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you...
This year someone went out of their way to write me a letter to thank me for helping them with a right of way research project.
That was the best (and only) thank you I got this year for doing my job well.
It was a nice thought...from a Buddha nun.

Merit award. Got my lovely review yesterday. apparently 2% raises were the max company wide. geez! wish oil was 140 a barrel again.

the company had a bad year? or are they just cheap?
Financially a thinner year. our branch office had a lot of overruns on projects, bad metrics all around for our office.
