A CEO from Ohio, United States, played in the stock market and earned $ 1.6 million (P80.9 million) in eight days, then split it among his employees.
Larry Connor, founder and CEO of the Connor Group, a real estate investment firm, surprised staff by a video call when he told them that they would give them their earnings, the Cincinnati investigator via Tennessean reported on April 30.
“I probably started thinking about our most important core values: ‘Do the right thing and people count,'” he said in a video on April 22. “I’m taking the $ 1.6 million and dividing it among all of you. In my opinion, this is not a gift. You earned it.”
Some employees were wide-eyed, incredulous, others excited by Connor’s decision.
The bonuses are between $ 2,000 to $ 9,000, depending on the Cincinnati investigator.
The company has about 400 employees called “associates,” and those eligible for the bonus are unpaid associates who were with the company prior to March 1. These include maintenance workers, property managers, and trainers.
Pedro Ducos-Vázquez, who was part of the video conference, expressed his thanks through the report: “Six thousand dollars. This is something you don’t get every day. “
“It just blew my mind, I was so happy and glad to work for a company like this,” he added.
He also praised Connor, who has been running the company since 1991.
“It doesn’t just say things about the company to motivate you,” he said. “Live the circle of values of our company. Lead by example. Girl V. Guno /JB
