<prompt> Human: Hello all, woke up this morning to an alert from my bank that I received a deposit from my work. I get alerts for every transaction This is my first Christmas at this job, but the amount is for about half of my normal pay check, minus taxes. I was last paid on the 15th. Im salaried so I usually get paid on the 15th and 30th.Anyways. Im not sure if this is a Christmas bonus never been mentioned by any one before or if theyre firing me no reason to, CEO literally bought the entire department lunch the other day and said weve been doing great.Still. Im paranoid. Im very self conscious and need the from this job. Ive worked at this job since Jun 2017 and my coworkers have told me multiple times that everyone is happy. Last time we looked, last week, we even made a lot more this year than last year. So the company itself is doing great.I guess Im just wondering what the standard procedure is for firing an employee, if this fits into it or if its out of the ordinary, or if you think its most likely a Christmas thing? I did send my boss an email at 6:30 AM EST asking about it though. Said Good morning boss, received a notification about a deposit from work this morning. Just wondering if its a Christmas thing or a mistake or something? Thanks! :Anyways, just wondering what your guys thoughts are? Am I just worrying about nothing?  <response>: I got a surprise bonus last week. Try not to worry. Your boss would have to be the worlds biggest dick to fire you Christmas week by shorting your pay. I doubt your boss holds that title...
