Project bonus
Had a crew knock a project out of the park and got a bucket of money to give out bonuses. Carved a bit out to get the guys some new jackets. Airing these out in the basement and off to the embroiderer next week.
Edit for clarity: Yes, there is a monetary bonuses that is worth the jacket many times over. Over half of this cost is coming straight out of my bonus. Majority of the guys have been here 5+ years, while we have some crews that have high turnover over, this is not one of them. These jackets are something for them to remember the job. I understand they may be considered swag, the logo is the size of a quarter, I wouldn’t consider it a billboard. I know they will appreciate them and if they don’t that’s on them. We pay a healthy wage, and extra $200 that’s taxed 30% isn’t going change any of their lives. We do site work and leave most days covered in dirt, this jacket in meant to be worn on the job.
