Best corporate Christmas party ever? At Random House’s holiday soiree on
Wednesday night, Markus Dohle, the chief executive of the publishing
company, interrupted the evening’s festivities to announce that
employees would be receiving $5,000 bonuses after an especially
profitable year. The especially profitable year being a result, in large
part, of earnings from E. L. James’s erotic best-seller, Fifty Shades of Grey.
It is unclear whether Dohle, now one of the best bosses ever, also
spent the evening personally refilling his employees' drinks and
suggesting they take the next day off of work.
Per The New York Times, thousands of staffers, “from top editors to warehouse workers,” will receive the $5,000 bump in their next paycheck. Those ineligible for the bonus—who have worked at the company for less than a year—will receive a prorated check. In related news, the friends and family members of Random House employees would like to add a few items to their holiday gift lists this year.
The announcement was predictably met with minutes’ worth of cheering. Congratulations, Random House employees.
