ATT and Wells Fargo are giving $1,000 bonouses to employees

What's ATT?

Lucky them! Lowe's (where my partner works) gives out bonuses as well, but we have yet to see exactly how much because she hasn't received hers yet.

Their bonuses are not that much and they come every quarter depending on the sales of that particular store.

When I read this, I thought that's pretty nice, at least some companies are taking care of this workers this holiday season...unlike the other company that I read that sent out notice of layoff!  But guess what?  The company that just laid off 600 workers (with plans of more next year) is AT&T, the same one giving out these bonuses!  Just trying to cover up their bad press from laying off so many right before Christmas.

They aren't trying to cover up any thing. Just doing their thing. I doubt the called the media and told them to print any of this. And companies have a right to lay of employees.  At any time. I don't know why people cry about getting laid off at the end of the year as opposed to the middle of the year. Either way you are without a job. Might as well get ready because as technology becomes more advanced lay offs will be more common. With computers and machines doing more work and things becoming automated there will be less need for people.

No big company is completely honest and transparent.

hat woudl be good get a bonus for every year youve been a memeber. lol

[LenoraMinogue]

Those are some impressive bonuses. Incentives like that really help with employee morale. More companies should adopt this as a frequent part of their business.

No, Wells Fargo has not been honest and straightforward.  They were recently fined by the government because many employees set up false accounts for customers.  Not long ago I also read somewhere that there were still some problems.  Wells Fargo got a new CEO who implemented some changes to try to overcome the results of illegal account set-ups and re-brand Wells Fargo as more honest.  I'm not sure exactly what is happening right now but there was some shady involvement.

I think that is a good idea. These bonuses really help these employees be more productive

That's nice, during these times everyone can use all the incentivities they can get; good that company recognize their employees.

Assuming that this is true, I think I need to put in a job application to AT&T and Wells Fargo, LOL.

I also heard that both are laying off people right after the first of the year. 

And that's a bad sign for working for this company.
