I don't even know where to start with this one. I used to work in the field but recently I was moved into the office as a supervisor of sorts. Up until this year I had no idea that every two months the company officials {family owned so thats Mom, Dad, Son and Wife} write themselves bonuses of $15,000-30,000 per family. That's wonderful and I'm glad we are making that much money. However, the employees get $500 apiece before taxes {15 employees} and they wait until Christmas Eve to give it to you, however they [owners] got their bonuses last month so they could Christmas shop HAHA. So it works out they people that don't need the money get theirs but those that are dependant upon the money for shopping didn't get theirs until the last minute. Last year after the company officials {mom,dad,son and wife} wrote their bonuses in November we were suddenly broke and everyone got a lecture about how we didn't make any money and another year like that and they would have to close the doors blah yada blah blah blah and the standard $500 dollar bonus was cut in half. I found out later from a friend that works in the office that they had over a quarter million in the bank. What a joke. The last place I worked the bonus was usually the equivalant to two weeks pay which was anywhere from $1500 to $2000 and it was given out the Monday after Thanksgiving so you could actually use it and not get into savings to Christmas shop.
