That’s nice, when I worked for them they gave us 1k for working y2k.

They should hold off until January 1st to issue the checks so these bonuses get taxed at the new lower rate.

Hey Chuckie, "is this only for the wealthy and will thousands die?"

And LOSE the glasses ya putz!!!

This is in addition to Wells Fargo and Fifth Third bank giving out bonuses?
That’s turning into major positive PR for Trump.
I do recognize the deliberate timing - I’m giving you tax cuts for Christmas!

[Red Badger]

The Dems will have conniptions!

The Media will ignore it!

The NeverTrumpers will decry it!

What else is new?................

The telecom giant said in a press release on Wednesday that it would give more than 200,000 U.S. union members a special bonus of $1,000. The company also increased its capital expenditures budget by $1 billion in the U.S.

How nice. But no payments to women, persons of color, children or LGBTQs?

Inadequate, AT&T!

[Red Badger]

It’s terrible!

Now people who don’t work will FEEL bad.....................

[M Kehoe]

Boom!

Sorry.

Don’t be!..................

Of course the bonuses will be taxed at 48%. I guess that also means revenue won’t drop.

[bestrongbpositive]

I’m just not tired of winning yet.

[halo66]

I demand every liberal working for these corporations to forfeit their bonuses or send it to the IRS since they did not want this tax cut...

[bobcat62]

Comcast too.

[codder too]

Boeing following too.

[Caipirabob]

Lol..they just want people to die, darn it all...😜
