Christmas bonuses to make you balk

JOE

Christmas bonuses feel a little bit like winning the lottery even when the amount is minimal.

That’s right. Every one of the 1,381 employees is receiving a $100,000 – a grand total of $138,100,000.

So many questions spring to mind. So the bonuses don’t differentiate between junior and senior staff? You’d be p*ssed if you were an intern.

Where do we apply?
