Each employee was paid a bonus solely based on years of service, with the average employee receiving around $50,000 , as per a company statement last Monday, Dec. 9. The said bonus was in addition to the company’s annual yearend bonus and other benefits.
The company’s founder and chairman, Edward St. John, decided to surprise his employees with the bonus in celebration of achieving its goal of developing 20 million square feet of office space, retail and warehouses in eight states in the US. “To celebrate the achievement of our goal, we wanted to reward our employees in a big way that would make a significant impact on their lives,” he said in the statement.
Some of the team members described the generous gesture as “life-changing” and “magical” while they wiped tears away. “I steer the boat but they’re the ones that run the boat, they’re the ones that make the boat go,” St. John said, expressing his gratitude to the employees. “Without the team, we are nothing. We are absolutely nothing.” /
