    So you hire more staff, and tell the new employees that they can ask you to call in a favor here and there from the retired folks that you made into millionaires.

      I think the retired folks actually made them a millionaire.

      Don’t call me if I retire.

        Haha. Fair point.

        I agree there’s absolutely no obligation there.

        After an unplanned $1,000,000.00+ bonus, I personally, will occasionally accept a phone-a-friend call.

        Expecting quid-pro-quo is not the reason to pay out the bonus, of course.

        But the world will be better when more people understand that generous leaders finish with more friends than tightwads do, and are proportionally more successful.

        I say proportionally because most folks who didn’t have the foresight to be born into an emerald mining fortune still aren’t gonna start a flamethrower company for funsies, of course.
