Talk about fair share of the profits, Random House the publisher of 50 Shades of Grey made a spectacular announcement at their annual holiday party. The announcement was everyone in the company will be receiving a $5,000 bonus as thanks to the huge success they had with publishing 50 Shades of Grey. Every eligible employee will receive this pay out, from the warehouse workers to the executives. According to Wikipedia the company has just over 5,000 employees.
I’m really impressed by this company’s interest in fairly distributing the profits throughout the company. This act tells me that the company appreciates the fact that this type of work is a team effort and everyone is important to their success.
I’m calling this 50 Shades of AWESOME!

That is a remarkable tribute to the company’s sense of teamwork and it sets an example for companies in all industries. Not all companies can distribute huge sums, but every company can make the effort to make every employee feel like a valuable part of the whole. So nice to hear this in a business world where more often than not we hear about the mega million bonuses handed out to only the top executives, who are generally making six figure incomes. Kudos to Random House for an excellent decision!
