Houston company gives every employee $100k bonus

[UK2K]

[QUOTE]HOUSTON (FOX 26) - This holiday season a Houston-based company is rewarding its workers with a major bonus.

Hilcorp has 1,381 employees total, and all of them were given a one-hundred thousand dollar bonus to top off an excellent year.

Amanda Thompson has been the receptionist at Hilcorp for 10 years and she said she along with all of her coworkers have a good reason to give it their all everyday.

Seemed like a good investment to consider, but they aren't publicly traded. Amazing for them to do that though, while other large companies give employees recurring 1-year contracts to avoid paying any benefits.

O&G companies are evil!

But seriously, I'm surprised they've done this considering the bloodbath O&G has been this year.

Applied and failed with these guys.

Dayum and I thought my companys bonuses were good :biggums:

they are in the Oil & Gas field tho, so its no womder they can do something like that.

Price of oil is at $37/bbl (seven year low) and over 200k people have been laid off worldwide...they are the only company doing it. Everybody else is laying off and staying lean.

Yea I was gonna say, the oil and gas industry is not doing so hot these days. Things in Alberta have slowed down to a crawl.
