Yep, it’s an amusing headline which makes it perfect for this community but it’s a genuine problem that needs to be navigated carefully. But as far as problems go this is a pretty damn good one to have.
So you hire more staff, and tell the new employees that they can ask you to call in a favor here and there from the retired folks that you made into millionaires.
After an unplanned $1,000,000.00+ bonus, I personally, will occasionally accept a phone-a-friend call.
Expecting quid-pro-quo is not the reason to pay out the bonus, of course.
But the world will be better when more people understand that generous leaders finish with more friends than tightwads do, and are proportionally more successful.
I say proportionally because most folks who didn’t have the foresight to be born into an emerald mining fortune still aren’t gonna start a flamethrower company for funsies, of course.
I mean it sort of makes sense from a business perspective. The amount of rapid scaling is something you can get wrong very easily.
But yeah a lot of big ass bonus checks is a good start.

Hey, if they have an issue with too much money, they can always give me some, that I can handle it for sure

What if the massive bonuses result in your employees retiring early? Now you’ve got a brain drain.

I think the retired folks actually made them a millionaire.
Don’t call me if I retire.
Haha. Fair point.
I agree there’s absolutely no obligation there.
