Im new to concrete pumping and I have been working for this company for about a year now.  We just had our company xmas party and they gave out bonus checks (mine was $1700) other operators tell me it gets better each year but wont tell me what to expect.  Whats the normal after say five years of pumping??

Around here, the standard bonus after 5 years ( although I'm sure this varies from one Company to another) runs around the $500,000 mark!

For the life of me, I can't understand why you're fellow pump operators won't let you in on what they get for a bonus?

Man i run pumps and im the service manager for 15 years all i ever get is a ham :(

man expect nothing and be grateful for anything you do receive , that's always been the way I look at it and its always kept me from being disappointed. Anything given as a "bonus" is just that a bonus , no company is obligated to "give" a employee anything , so be appreciative for anything given.
