Judging by these Christmas bonuses, this could be the most generous company on the planet

JOE

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

Although when the bonuses are six figures, it pretty much is the lottery.

Hilcorp Energy in Houston, Texas have had such a profitable year, they are offering their employees a bonus of… wait for it… $100,000 – each.

That’s right.

Every single 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 definitely be p*ssed if you were an intern.

And how could one company afford it?

Hilcorp Energy is one of the nation’s largest privately held energy exploration firms (oil) – that’s how.

Where do we apply?
