Holiday bonuses can either be a joke or a blessing depending on your employer. Sometimes the bonus feels like a slap in the face rather than a gift. Remember the Jelly of the Month Club bonus from Christmas Vacation? We are in the season of giving, but we also want to get stuff.

What if a holiday bonus is off the table and there is no chance of getting any cash, what would be the next best perk? A recent study says that Idahoans would pick free food as their alternative choice. Idahoans want a company-paid holiday meal from their employer. The choice is interesting because one of the other options is a company holiday party and we don’t want that. Apparently, we don’t want to socialize with our fellow coworkers, we just want free food.
