For my first four years as an employee out of college, I didn’t receive any annual bonus from my employer. It wasn’t until my third big kid job that I was paid an annual bonus. I received around $1,500 pretax and was pumped about it.

If your company has already distributed an annual bonus, it can be wise to write a simple note expressing how grateful you are. Need help on what to say? I’ve written more than 101 of thank you note examples you can write to your boss or send to the happy staff you just cut a check to.
