AT&T is paying bonuses of $1,000 to more than 200,000 U.S. employees. AT&T's CEO said it was in response to tax reform. The House of Representatives on Wednesday sent tax reform legislation to President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign it soon.

Each AT&T employee that get a $1.000 Bonus, should pay down their mortgage, put it towards their child or child's tuition or maybe buy that new car.
