ALSO very sweet.

THE Bastard Public Enemy #4 4000+ posts Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 4,069	My new job gives bonuses based on inventory shrinkage. Which is why I went in on my day off to help them get the counts straight. Store general managers get a bonus in the range of 5 to 10 thousand dollars based on store profitability...assuming zero shrinkage. It's not a Christmas bonus per se...they do it quarterly...but November and December count as one quarter. As we are a brand new store, I'm not sure what to expect. Hell, I haven't even been named store manager yet and I'm not sure if I want the job if it's offered. It's cool though. The sales and assistant managers get a bonus of between 1000 and 5000 bucks. I'll take that. Free money is free money...assuming none of my staff steals or is stupid. I think I'm OK on the stealing part but, the stupid factor remains high.
