    European here, I get a nice bonus every year. But then, my job is unionised, maybe that’s the difference?

      How dare you come here with your happiness, social safety net and psychological safety, you dirty European. What is the GDP per capita of a European?! Can’t you see they’re having a much worse life than we Americans are?!

      I had a union job in the 80’s. We didn’t get bonuses. Possibly some of the upper management may have.

        I imagine “is the position union or not” is far from the only factor deciding whether you got a bonus or not.

          Based on the comments, living in Europe seems to be a more important factor. But here in the US I think it’s more related to whether you have a salaried or hourly position.
