In France we have the "thirteenth month" as we call it. I never had one, but in that latest job they announced having one, so I was rather chuffed to finally discover the practice and asked them about it during the interview. "so you gonna give me a full month salary bonus at the end of the year?" cue a long, convoluted explanation... which boiled down to "no, we just shuffle shit around so you get more in December, no extra money, really".
But it just shows how ingrained that idea of a Christmas bonus is.
Je ne suis donc pas le seul à ne pas comprendre le principe faute de n'en avoir jamais eu. Ouf... Je me sentais un peu bête et très seul.
En fait, en December tu as souvent plus de dépenses que les autres mois de l'année. Cadeaux de Noël, bouffes entre ami, vacances et aussi factures etc. Alors un deuxième salaire est bienvenue. Meme si il est en quelque sorte virtuel.
Il y a aussi certaines entreprises qui versant le salaire en avance en décembre. Alors quand j'avais que 12 salaire, celui de janvier m'était une plombe à arriver.
