The benefits of a brain-dead boss

After many years of being strapped for cash, we are finally bringing in enough cash to have a comfortable cushion. Since most of my employees have also made sacrifices by accepting salaries lower than the industry standard, when I have cash above the cushion I tend to give out small bonuses, as one-time bonuses cause less budgetary strain than ongoing raises do.

Today before I ran payroll, I balanced all the accounts. They've had money above my cushion for a couple months now and I've been wanting to pass some of it out, so I gave everyone a small bonus in this paycheck. After I'd run it, submitted everything for direct deposit (and thus can't undo it, not that I would), and handed out paystubs, I started getting reactions. Every reaction was "Another bonus?" or "A bonus again?" Wait, what's with the "again" part?

It turns out that I gave them a bonus in their LAST paycheck, too. I just totally forgot that I'd done it. So they ended up with double the bonus.

More shirts I lust after

Silence is golden...

The police never...

Cleverly disguised

Don't worry
