Someone in my family who is a national sales manager just received a $20,000 Christmas bonus. What did he do to deserve this ?
Before the coronavirus affected us, he would fly all over the country approximately 30 times per year and spend about 100 days in a hotel or motel. He would attend over 50 luncheons a year with customers.
Since coronavirus arrived, he has spent zero days in an airplane or a motel room. Other than some customers he can drive to see and return home the same day, he does all his work from home.
He has been very happy with the current situation as his salary before his bonus was also increased since the pandemic started.
The other side of the coin and how his company can afford his bonus is all the money they saved by not having to pay for his airplane tickets both going and coming, his hotel or motel stays, the car rentals and all the luncheons.
