I got a $10 Christmas bonus once. After taxes is was $6.56. Went to Wendy's for a spicy chicken sandwich meal, had to pay for the biggie size upgrade out of pocket.

A friend of mine posted this this. Not sure how much is true but either way it's a awesome gesture from the boss
"What it doesn't say is that he could have saved the jobs of roughly 300 people who were laid off at the beginning of the year due to the economy and still given everyone a nice bonus. This also doesn't talk about the numerous discounts that Hilcorp is forcing on its service providers who are struggling to stay in business. Maybe he could have given them 5% back on their last invoice instead of sending emails to all of them yesterday asking for another price cut. Just food for thought. "

That's a heck of a deal but they'll make more than that just off the good press.
I'm fortunate to work for a company that offers an ESOP and a Christmas bonus. The ESOP alone is a great reason to stick around at least until I'm fully vested (5 years).
Companies that give back to their employees reap the greatest rewards.

They aren't exactly slow to go up on prices in a boom.
A company's role is to stay healthy, if that means being generous to staff and squeezing contractors, then that's what you do.
