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.

Translate says:

So I'm not the only one who doesn't understand the principle because I've never had one. Uff... I felt a little stupid and very lonely.
