Employer is offering three choices for the holiday bonus:

1. A mystery gift card with multiple different denominations of $0, $10, $50, $100, $500, or $750. You pick an envelope out of a hopper.

2. Paid half day off.

3. A catered lunch at a extremely upscale steak restaurant.

Hold up...they actually have an envelope with zero money? That's curious.

I'd go for the upscale steak place. Then again I'm a militant carnivore. :oops:

Half day off. We just implemented that every other Friday.
It really seems like a three day weekend.
The gift card only turns out a "winner" for a small percentage.

And I agree with fitty, an envelope with zero is just BS.

I highly doubt any envelope is less than $100. But it makes you squirm picking one.

When offered these choices, people that worked with me would select the half day off and then take a half day vacation as well.
