Some people will hire out with a 25k bonus is some locations. Current employees get 5k longevity. It’s like Barnum and Bailey took over and have the clowns running things.
The folks in debt are chomping at the bit to get the whopping 11,000! Everyone that votes should snap a screen shot! Those 1000 bonuses will be a whole 600 bucks by the time you touch it!
