| Subject: United Airlines Pauses Lottery for Bonuses After Ungrateful-Employees Rebel Online Mon Mar 05, 2018 10:25 pm | |
| Faced with a backlash from employees, United Airlines said Monday it was “pressing the pause button” on a plan to replace its modest monthly bonuses with a lottery system that would have offered large rewards to a few workers at random. Last week, an internal United Airlines memo, first obtained by The Chicago Business Journal, announced that the company was doing away with a performance incentive program that awarded workers up to $375 for each quarter that the airline met operational goals. Instead, employees would enter a lottery system that doled out big prizes, including $100,000 cash and a Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan. Only workers with perfect attendance records for the quarter would be eligible. Employees were furious, signing an online petition condemning the decision and voicing their concerns in an internal company forum.
