Instead of keeping the bonus, the employees must give the money to colleagues
If I were to ask you if you would prefer to spend your year-end bonus on yourself or spend it on your coworkers, you would likely choose the former.
Pret-a-Manger, a U.K. food chain that is expanding in America, believes the opposite to be true.
“When employees are promoted or pass training milestones, they receive at least £50 in vouchers, a payment that Pret calls a ‘shooting star,’ but instead of keeping the bonus, the employees must give the money to colleagues, people who have helped them along the way.”
