    $100,000 Christmas bonus for everybody!

    Any of you Houston folks work for HilCorp Energy? This from Forbes online:

    Christmas came early at Hilcorp Energy. Despite the depression in the oil and gas sector, this year employees are enjoying a $100,000 bonus. It’s the continuation of a tradition at Hilcorp, owned by billionaire Jeffery Hildebrand.

    Five years ago, when Hilcorp achieved its goal of doubling its oil and gas production, Hildebrand gave every employee the choice of $35,000 cash or $50,000 towards a new car. This year, despite the downturn, Hilcorp doubled its output again, to more than 150,000 barrels per day. So Hildebrand doubled the bonus — to $100,000. With about 1,400 employees, Hildebrand’s largesse will total more than $100 million (amounts are said to be prorated depending on how much of the past five years a worker was with the company).

    It’s a wonderful way to inspire hard work and loyalty, especially among the lower ranks, where $100,000 is well in excess of what many workers make in a year. “It’s just a true gift, and I think myself, along with everyone, is not going to give less than 100 percent each day,” receptionist Amanda Thompson told Fox 4 News in Houston.


    (Forbes puts Hildebrand's net worth at around $6 billion)

                That's a drop in the bucket to that dude but good on him anyways! I like to see humble, giving, caring billionaires. Even most millionaires lose compassion after their 1st million.

                        Awesome gesture by Mr. Hildebrand. With bonuses like that, he's sure to build some good employee loyalty.
