Holiday present for Amazon employees is mostly stressful oncalls. Just curious what does other companies present their employees for Christmas/holiday season?
@OP Are you saying there should be no oncall for the holiday season?

A few days off you ungrateful bunch
Blizzard usually gives some custom made item to employees. Statues and such. Last year was a special overwatch loot box with beer glasses in it. We also have the week between Christmas and New Years off. They used to also do a 10% holiday bonus but last year they got rid of that and just gave everyone a 10% raise.

That ain't nothing yet. Bloomberg makes you oncall year round including Christmas and NY for wait for it ... wait a bit more ... no extra pay. They literally enslave you (you being people stuck on visas like me). Even places as terrible as Amazon pays for oncall.
You need to change your source of Truth my dear friend. Amazon doesn't pay a dime for oncall
My cousin worked for Amazon EU told me so I can categorically tell you they do. The pay was meager but at least it was something. Maybe depends on region and this was 5 years ago so I'm not surprised they don't pay in US.
