I had my money on today being announcement

But i could easily see this extending into the new year

Super lame because people legitimately rely on this portion of compensation

I just think about the tirade from Christmas vacation

It's actually really shitty for firms to hold this information back

Some firms regularly pay in December, so I can't really comprehend them waiting until January

Think we'll see movement today. If not, then I'll start to be concerned for real.

Agreed. My firm typically pays out the bonus the Friday before Christmas. I have no idea what they'd do if this keeps dragging out.

we don't pay until after new year but all the waiting is seriously inconsiderate because as I said this is an important part of financial/life planning

I for one cannot believe the kind of person who tells associates they're "worthless sacks of shit" would be inconsiderate about their financial schedules.

It does, but even if they double or halve it, it's not the same sort of swing as it would be for a third year or up.
