NBC新闻:美国房地产公司发千万奖金

At the holiday party for St. John properties in Baltimore, employees were handed envelopes like the ones you see at the oscars. And now you can open your red envelopes. But this was no movie. This was their bonus. I'm so happy. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. In all, the real estate development company is handing out ten million dollar shared by a hundred ninety eight employees. The amount received is based on tenure. Bonuses ranging from a hundred bucks to two hundred seventy thousand, the average payout is fifty thousand. I'm definitely gonna pay it forward. 

Definitely i have to. You don't get a gift like that and not share it. Scott Connolly has been a maintenance technician at St. John for 29 years. I keep thinking about it. It's like winning the lottery a little bit. It's something that you never expected. Executives say this was a way to celebrate reaching a major company goal. We heard things such as i'm buying a new corvette, I'm debt-free finally for the first time in my life. It literally brought tears to our eyes. Real estate company making a real difference.
