Funny, the bonus story triggered my mind, as well, about my sister's Christmas bonus.
Her supervisor passed out $100 cash bonuses on the last Friday before Christmas. "I'm not supposed to hand these out until Monday, but I figured you guys could use these for your Christmas shopping this weekend."
The following Monday, the supervisor, in obvious agony, told everyone, "Corporate decided that we spent too much on marketing this year, so they canceled those bonuses I gave you prematurely. Sorry, everybody, but I need that money, and the cards they came in, back."
(I know everyone's reaction is to tell the super to f*** himself, but he didn't cancel the bonus, and if you don't return it, you're putting him a tough spot, when his only crime was to be thoughtful and nice.)
EDIT TO ADD: Yup, she quit. She had wanted to for a while, and this tore it.
