United Airlines is giving employees a lottery instead of bonuses
Employees of United Airlines used to get quarterly bonuses if they hit certain performance targets. Now, they’ll all be entered into a lottery, out of which 1—and only 1—lucky person will win US$100,000. United president Scott Kirby broke the news in a memo March 2, calling the change “an exciting new rewards program.” He noted that, in addition to the $100,000 award, quarterly prizes would also include luxury vacations, smaller cash awards, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedans. Instead of getting individual bonuses each quarter, workers who achieve their performance goals will be all entered into the drawing, from which winners will be chosen at random. The change is not sitting well with employees themselves. Some of them said that Kirby’s memo “quickly ignited a firestorm” among rank-and-file workers. <br/>
