This email was sent to us all a couple months back, and I just thought about it when browsing this subreddit.
First, I want to acknowledge that this is MUCH better than nothing at all, so I'm not complaining. The bonus itself was $1,600.
However, my question is, why is it “Once in a Lifetime”? Does upper management not want to recognize that inflation is something that happens every year or something? I really don't understand why they worded it this way. Why not just give everyone a $0.85 raise instead?
Additional info – if you are a top performing employee at the company, you get a maximum 2% raise each year.
Hello,
As promised, here is the first of 2 opt out letters for the two TM bonuses that are coming in October and November.
This is the Once in a Lifetime Inflation Offset Bonus opt out letter that can be given to TM’s. These letters MUST be signed and returned to the VSS no later than 9/30/22. TM’s can totally opt out or choose a reduced amount.
Soon you will receive an opt out letter for the traditional holiday bonus that will be paid in November.
Please let Liz or I know if you have any questions.
