When I worked in a garage and we had to work a half-day on X'mas eve, the boss arrived just as were clocking off and gave us all a fresh turkey. They were all 20lb plus and as we had no idea we were going to get these, we had all bought our X'mas food already. They wouldn't fit in most ovens so...
I once worked for a small transport company, that gave us all a £50 M&S voucher at Christmas, which was always much appreciated. Then it was taken over by UPS, and at Christmas they gave us a box of sickly foreign chocolates instead. Most went in the skip.
