This is how businesses should run. Bonuses keep employees happy and happy employees want to keep a business running

Burn it to the ground, fire everyone, collect tax write-offs, profit. Start again, only this time make your logo green cuz ur environmentally friendly now. Burn it. 🍋➡️🍸

Bonuses are also a way to exercise power over employees.

  1. Only the employees that are present get the bonus. If there is a usual “Christmas Bonus” and you wanted to leave your toxic boss in October, either you have to tough it out, or kiss the bonus goodbye.
  2. They don’t factor into base compensation. This affects things like retirement contributions, future pay raises, your next year’s salary, and so forth. I would much rather have a $3k pay raise than a $5k bonus.
