别人家的公司：最豪圣诞礼！每位员工奖10万

Hilcorp, a private oil and natural gas exploration and production company based in Texas, is in the news for its uNPRecedented generosity towards employees. To celebrate an excellent year, CEO Jeff Hildebrand gave the entire company staff huge bonuses –$100,000 to each of the 1,381 workers! It seems Santa is real after all.
Hilcorp是一家位于德克萨斯州的私立石油天然气开发生产公司，最近这家公司因为对员工的极度慷慨而登上新闻。为了庆祝这不平凡的一年，公司CEO希尔德布兰德·杰夫给员工发放了丰厚的福利——他给1381名员工每人发放了10万美元！这才像真正的圣诞老人呢！

“It’s just a true gift,” said receptionist Amanda Thompson, who has worked at Hilcorp for the past 10 years. With this kind of rewards, it’s really no wonder that the company was included in the FORTUNE list of 100 Best Companies to Work For, for the third year in a row.
“这才是真的礼物”，公司接待员汤普森·阿曼达说。她在公司任职已经10年了。享受到这样的奖励，难怪公司连续三年荣登《财富》杂志最适宜工作公司百强名单。

“Mr. Jeff Hildebrand, and our president Greg Lalicker, they are such amazing motivators,” Thompson added. “Somedays I just kind of look down the hall and say I can’t believe these are my bosses and they’re the best.”
“希尔德布兰德·杰夫先生和现任董事长格雷格·兰里克特很善于鼓励员工，”汤普森说。“有时候，我会低头看看大厅说道：真的不敢相信他们就是我的老板，他们是最好的老板了。

But this isn’t the first time the employees enjoyed such a momentous occasion. Thompson said they were rewarded for reaching the same goal in 2010 – every employee got to choose between a $50,000-car or a $35,000 cash check. But this year’s reward is life-changingly huge, so much so that they’re now referring to it as ‘Oprah Day’. Some of the workers are planning to use the bonus to retire early, while others are going to remodel their homes, pay for their children’s college tuition, and take vacations.
但这并不是员工第一次享受这样一个重大的时刻了。汤普森说，2010年员工们完成同样目标时，他们也收到了奖励——每位员工都可以在一辆价值5万美元的汽车和一张3万5000美元的支票之间做出选择。但今年的奖励真是前所未有的丰厚，这么巨大的奖励，以至于员工将其称为“奥普拉日”。一些员工打算用这笔奖金提前退休，其他员工则打算用这笔钱重修房屋、支付孩子的大学学费或者度假。
