[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 908380, member: 927"] The 1/2 month check was meant to be compensation for the extra hours worked during peak season. Not a Christmas bonus or other incentive. I think the meaning got diluted over the years as the business changed. Peak has become much less of an event as compared to many years ago. It used to mean nearly round the clock work and attention, and it started before Thanksgiving..... Don't get me wrong. I know that peak is still a tremendous amount of work, but it is not the same...... Anyway, that 1/2 month was compensation for the extra effort put in. I liked the 1/2 month check. I liked being able to go up to those that reported to me, shake their hand and say thank you and hand the check over. This year, we have appreciation cards and a sheet explaining the MIP change. It doesn't feel the same, but one has to be able to accept change. I still do hand written notes to my people. I have never missed a year, and never will. [/QUOTE]
