THAT SWEET ERAC CHRISTMAS "BONUS"

[4 WASTED YEARS WITH ERAC]

Hey, there all of you apsiring business moguls who are going to take ERAC by storm and make that 6 figure salary in 6 years. Here's one sweet nugget about ERAC that will whet your appetites about jumping aboard the big green machine:

At most large corporations, employees are given a holiday bonus (extra cash). At ERAC you are rewarded with a holiday bonus in the form of a wonder gift of unspeakbale value. In my four years at ERAC I received (1) a miniature habachi charcoal grill with an "E" emblem on it (this was the best gift) (2) a selection of 2 DVDs (although the good titles went early, so I was stuck with "Big" and some movie call "Little Man Tate") (3) more 2 DVD selections (4) a tote bag with an "E" on it. The fact that gifts are gender-neutral means they are even more bland and crappy. One-gift-fits-all saves ERAC money.

I got out of ERAC in August, but I still have friends who work there. One emailed me to inform me the big holiday gift for 2007 was... a model toy car. A 57 Chevy to comemorate 50 years of ERACs existance. A FU**ING TOY CAR! I thought it was joke, so i emailed 2 other friends at a different branch, and they confirmed this to be true. Cool gift, if you're 8 years old. Their hard work is truely appreciated.

This could be you, potential ERAC person. Live the dream!

I couldn't believe it. Last years car kit without jumper cables was bad enough but A MODEL CAR!?! This put ERAC's appreciation for me as an employee into physical form. A small P.O.S. Thanks for nothing.

AHAHA! LMAO! My Christmas bonus in a new role with my company was $3,500 this year and increases annually. That's in addition to my salary, monthly bonus and a quarterly bonus. I am glad to be out of Enterprise and a job that pays closer to my true net worth.

A model car!? You have got to be F*UCKING joking! I still have my hibachi grill by the way! LOL. I gave it to my little brother who loves to camp. I'll be getting my annual salary bonus at the end of this month. I cannot friggen wait! My company takes your salary for the last 5 years adds it up...then you get 4 or 5 percent of that sum depending on the type of year they had. My fiancee works for the same company so our bonuses together will pay for our wedding. We also get a christmas turkey, ham, or veggie lasagna which is cool because back in the day a lot of companies used to do that but dont anymore.

a model car! AH HA HA

[I Rent Cars II]

I am just amazed that ERAC thinks a toy car is gift. What an insult to everyone from MT's ARMS and on up. I think everyone needs to send the car back to ERAC Corp with nice thank you note. Thanks, but no thanks.


How can anyone at the holliday party boast about this gift?

wow. a toy car. but I bet each of you ungrateful bastards kept each and everyone on of them...or as one of you dorks typed...re-gifted it. nice. i'll be the first to say that erac will chew you up and spit you out, but good God, dont act like spoiled kids just because you were given a toy...

Not the point. No gift would have been FINE -- no one would have cared or missed it. It's the fact that ERAC would actually go through the effort and logistics of getting every employee something so worthless and crappy. It only serves to underscore how little employees are valued by upper management. Even if this is not the case, it is certainly the impression coveyed. This is similar to a scenario in which waiter gets more pissed off from a customer who leaves, say, a $0.03 tip, than a customer who just stiffs him on the tip -- because the $0.03 tipper goes through actual [i]effort[i] to make the waiter feel worthless and to prove he is an asshole.

That is the best statement I have heard.

When I worked there, I never even thought about my "Christmas bonus". My last year there, I got pens, ERAC pens. They were in some nice packaging but not even worth $2. And my ARM was actually impressed by this gift. I wrote with it once and it sucks. I just would like to know the thought process of these "bonuses". Do they take meetings after meetings to decide what to give, or 1 week before Christmas, somebody from corporate looks in the ERAC book and throw a dart to it and orders it.

Multi-billion dollar corporation and can't afford at least $100 for each employee for their bonus. What a joke.

The least they could do is give us green condoms.
