'For Christmas we got a coupon for a cup of coffee...from the coffee shop in the building. The coffee was already free': Employees share the worst "bonuses" their jobs have ever given them

Getting a bonus means different things to different people. For the average Joe, a bonus will help them add a little more padding to their emergency fund or finance Christmas presents for their kids so they don't have to go into debt for Santa. I recently learned from reading Disney Wars that bonuses are extremely different for high-level entertainment executives. In 1998, Michael Eisner got a $5 million bonus on top of his salary, which was somewhere around $750K. I don't know if any of y'all have ever gotten a bonus that's more than five times the sum of your actual salary, but it seems pretty unusual unless you're at the very top of your game. Maybe they do it for tax reasons or because it's a bad look to give an employee a salary of $5 million. Whatever their reasoning, I wouldn't mind benefiting from an arrangement like that.
