What is the usual amount for the Xmas bonus?

I've never worked in a corporate setting as an employee. I've always wondered how much do ppl generally get as Xmas bonuses. What's the average amount?

Max's previous username was Marx. He then took out the 'r' to conform better. He's actually trying to bring down the government. But don't say anything, Obama is monitoring him right now

Quote from mrlaugh :
congress just passed a 2% cost of living increase for federal employees, does that count?
Quote from DealCrazy :
In this economy - ZERO. Employers think that employees must be happy to even have a Job.
It just kills me ... FEDERAL WAGE FREEZE .. is all over the news ... this means "cost of living" INCREASE .... so via Federal math: Increase = Freeze ... and they're the ones with the most influence over the economy that the rest of us fight to survive in.

2 years ago they took away 15% and all 401k and benifits ... a few months ago they gave back 10% ... it is pretty safe for me to say that, by "federal standards", I will NEVER receave a pay increase. (first they need to give back 5% ... then 401k ... then the best they have ever done is 2% cost of living increase... so ya ... I got that going for me. fml
