I'm not saying $1K is anything to sneeze at.. but... in the grand scheme of things.. what is the impact on the economy? Even if everyone decided to spend it all in one go?

HAhahhahaa.. Uh. there are companies that still offer pensions?!

Maybe government jobs.. and some very old school companies still do.. but I have never even seen such an offer on any job description.

Re: Comcast & AT&T Bonuses etc.
THanks for sharing your thoughts--In a trade war, no one wins and opportunites to truly be transformational will continue to be stiffled which concern all the "fearful Five"--I wonder, in fact, whether they understand that.    The bigger question is whether the US Government understands it--right now, they do not as the debate over Net Neutrality clearly illustrated.

Re: Comcast & AT&T Bonuses etc.
On this first day of 2018, one thing we have to think about is the "Sugar High" that this tax bill is going to bring--AND what then?   There is also one more factor that all have to consider that would stiffle Transformation:   Trade Wars--China and Europe have been quite explicit in statements and as I was working away on commitment at the start up I work for, The Daily Outsider, this was quite striking.    Althought the $ 1000 bonus is nice--what then after that?  What about the long term?

Re: Comcast & AT&T Bonuses etc.
Especially since the new tax laws haven’t even taken effect yet. It’s not like they’ve already benefitted from the new bill and are using the associated profits for these bonuses.

That’s what is crazy about all this! We’re already paying for services. Now we’re going to be paying a lot more for the same service we’ve already been paying...

I definitely think they more than deserve this. They’re constantly working to develop new technologies!

Re: Comcast & AT&T Bonuses etc.
@elizabethv Oh, yes, it's possible that some union and government jobs still offer pensions, but no one expects them outside of those contexts. You're lucky if your job offers to match anything on a 401K nowadays.
