List of all companies giving bonuses or investing because of the Tax Bill

So far:

Comcast - $1000 bonuses to 200,000 employees, and $50 billion to new infrastructure and investments in the next 5 years.

At&t - $1000 bonus to 200,000 workers and investing $1 billion in the next year. Though they apparently laid off 600 workers right after. I read into it because I was disappointed, it seems like they are going to move them to different departments if they can. Since the workers they laid off were in areas where their departments were in decline, while in other places increasing. They plan to hire in MO for example 1000 workers (around there), since they see an increase. So idk if it's laid off, or if they are going to move them to different departments to work. It seems like they were talking like that, but only time will tell.

Fifth Third Bancorp - $1000 bonuses to 13,500 employees and set a $15 minimum wage.

Wells Fargo - Raised minimum wage from $13.50 to $15.

Boeing - Investing additional $300 million for job-training, facility upgrades, and charitable giving in the next year.

Washington Federal - 5% merit increase to all employees earning less than $100,000 annually, and will be investing in employee training and technology upgrades (they didn't say how much yet). They will also make a $5 million contribution to it's main philanthropy foundation.

Bank of America - $1000 bonus to 145,000 employees making under $150,000.

Sinclair - $1000 bonus to all employees including full time and part time, excluding senior level executives.

Nelnet - giving all employees who have been with the company for at least 6 months $1000 bonus except for senior managers.

Pinnacle Bank - $1000 bonus to all full time employees.

Part 1. Will be more, including sources posted in thread.

OceanFirst Financial Corp - Raising minimum wage to $15 an hour.

They all credited the tax bill.

ANWR drilling provision was attached to the bill so that will create more jobs for oil drilling in Alaska. (This might be another topic, but adding to the jobs.) Georgia Power also got a nuclear plant go-ahead yesterday.

Done.

>Comcast
>At&t

Dont see (((Netflix))) or (((Google)))

The banks that raised the minimum wage, only paid between $10 to $13.50. A lot of their employees will benefit from it. One of them was like three-fourth will benefit, and another like 50%

BTW if you guys know any that I did not link, it can be local, link the name of the company and a SOURCE.

I will add it to my list.

>the tax cuts only benefit the rich and none of the money will go back to the people, executives will pocket every dime of the savings!
>OK so taxes actually go up a bit on the rich and tons of companies are announcing bonuses, pay raises, increased hiring, infrastructure investments and charitable giving as a direct result of the tax cuts but they aren't giving back enough REEEEEEEE!
The absolute state of libshits

One time bonuses, and 95% of any tax benefits going back to shareholders/ buybacks /dividends: and investment market that is globalized.

>List of all companies giving bonuses or investing because of the Tax Bill

WEW MAKE GOLDMAN SACHS GREAT AGAIN

If your read the list, the majority are investing the money into more jobs, charitable giving, infrastructure, and pay raises. The bonuses are just what they are doing for Christmas + Jan.

BUMP

i was a Trump hater


Now I am a Trump supporter.
The man will get my vote when he runs again.


Hi faggot
His tax bill is going to let me keep 5k dollars next year
And I am in one of the companies above and I am getting
a total of $2500 in bonuses.


You can talk about your Globalization shit all you want.
But next year I can afford my New AR15 to add to my already 9 AR deep collection.

Feel the freedom as we breeze past you as you let in mohammed.

Cuck

These companies were making record profits long before these tax cuts. Oh, but now the that the tax cuts happened, they can suddenly come up off their profits a little and shower their employees with raises and bonuses? It is a show, and nothing more. These empty gestures will be offset by offloading workers in favor of automation.

600 laid off in that area because it's in decline. At&t said they would move them to new departments. We will see what is coming from it though.

They are opening new places in MO which is about 1000 more jobs there, and a few other places that are doing well.

Says it all in the article you screenshot btw.

>At&t said they would move them to new department

then they would not have laid them off

they would have transferred them

u fucking corporate shill

People in control of money making that little.
I can see why they might be pissed at CEOs.

I'm not a corporate shill. I'm literally quoting the article that was linked you dick sucking cuck.

They said they will be laid off, but will try to move them to different departments. I said let's see what happens.

Then I quoted the rest where they are hiring 1000+ workers in MO, and more in other areas. You idiot.

Just as bad as Reddit that no one reads the articles. The title is just clickbait.

>It is a show, and nothing more
this. it's all theater to show support for the Prez. that just handed them a bundle.

Yeah true. We will see if they stick through with their plan of also investing more into employees in the next couple years.

MMY BAWWS IZ THEEE MMOOOOOSSST GENRENNOUS!! HE ALWAAY GIV MEE PIIE CUUMBS!

this is standard 101 corporate damage control

they say this every time they lay people off

why do u fall for it

He doesn't understand that some people suck and companies will do anything they can to get rid of them en masse.

>search "tax"
>i posted it again

Empty gestures in the tune of 6,500 dollars for myself. But you wouldn't know what work is cause your a fuckin neet

>tons of companies are announcing bonuses, pay raises, increased hiring, infrastructure investments and charitable giving
looking at that list, the vast majority are actually just looking to make a one time pay off to employees and not a lot more.
Pretty shitty payout for what they're getting desu, you seem really easily impressed

I didn't "fall for it". I said, "let's see what happens".

You dumb sons of bitches.. they were going to do this already because of the tight job market.. they are just 'timing' it with Trumps retarded tax reform to make them look like the good guys. Fuck corporations and fuck Trump.

I'm just posting the info because

1. It's good news

2. It's a sign of more companies doing this because of competition

3. Some ppl might be interested and want to keep these sources.

Also, yes, a lot are giving bonuses, but a lot are raising wages, and investing into other things. For example Comcast $50 billion for the next 5 years will be great. AT&T $1 billion for the next year. ISG promising additional funds to accelerate growth. BB&T investing $152 million. Go down the list, I'm just saying that it's great for the US.

I think the info is interesting, I just think it seems a lot better the first time you read it than the second, for example
>Boeing - Investing additional $300 million for job-training, facility upgrades, and charitable giving in the next year.
That's literally significantly less than the cost of a single 747

True. It seemed a bit low to me compared to other companies when I was reading through the list I made too.

The breakdown of the money is:

1. $100 million for corporate giving, with funds used to support demand for employee gift-match programs and for investments in Boeing’s focus areas for charitable giving: in education, in our communities, and for veterans and military personnel.

2. $100 million for workforce development in the form of training, education, and other capabilities development to meet the scale needed for rapidly evolving technologies and expanding markets.

3. $100 million for “workplace of the future” facilities and infrastructure enhancements for Boeing employees.


Also a quote

>"This is the first of many investments in innovation, research and development, our infrastructure and in our most important strength, our people," said Boeing Senior Vice President of Communications Phil Musser.

So let's hope they invest more in the year to come. We will have to see. For such a huge company that employs so many, it would be nice to see.

...

the madman did it! he trickled on us

There is a reason Boeing is called the lazy-B. I notice far more social media posting/text messages from people I know who work at Boeing than anyone else in my friends list. Boeing employs about 40,000 in the Renton/Seattle/Everett area. A lot of them are complete crap. The company will eventually leave Washington state as the only reason they are here is gibs from the state.

>Proud he gets to buy an AR.
> Already owns nine

Pure fucking autism. Hey honey! I just got a bonus! Let’s buy the exact same thing of something I already bought nine times!

We need to increase the tax return for the people that don't pay taxes. The corporate tax rate should be at LEAST 85% to accomplish this.

Community Trust Bancorp - All full time employees will receive a special bonus of $1,000 and employees classified as part time will receive a $500 bonus. Executive Management will not participate in this special bonus.

Great thread, user. Communists blown the fuck out.

What? Aren't you feeling sleepy yet? Please be a good goy

Will update as long as thread stays up. Will probably die soon though. I made a list here that I will keep updating: reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/7lj2l0/list_of_all_companies_giving_bonuses_or_investing/

With all sources, which I will update for a few months when I have time.

Are you even allowed ARs? How's Marstar treating you by the way?

Good luck running those mid-term campaigns around the idea that $1000 cash in hand is nothing.

Very odd to see the people pro net neutrality which runs with the same crowd that wants $15 min wage not actually raise wage with tax cuts.

Big if true. Leftists must be seething right now at Trump's big win.

Oh, they are! Let me post screenshots LMAO

I'll post more in a bit when I sort through my folders.

Jesus you're a retard you think the rich hoard their money? You goddamn fucking monkey when have you ever known the rich to live less extravagant lives than the poor? It doesn't fucking happen. Even by saving money it still goes back into the economy because the banks aren't retards like you and they put it back into the economy, boosting the portfolios of all the non-retards unlike you who are smart enough to invest and share in the success of others. You fuckwits are the least qualified people in the world to speak on this topic yet you're so fucking smug and adamant because you believe the lie of your own intelligence. Either study business and economics or kill yourself because in your current form you are only a detriment to society.

It comes back to education. I’ve learned over the last several years of watching these SJWs that economics and business should be taught every year in high school and it should be a degree requirement. Certain common sense subjects (how a business works, saving for retirement, or how to do your taxes) have been lost through the erosion of families and we need to start over, then do a better job at passing along that information to future generations. We’ve learned how dangerous an ignorant population can be. Some of them are turning to Communism and it’s allowing other countries to subvert them through division tactics.

The other things I’ve noticed is that they need hope and real results. They have a good reason to not trust the government after 9/11 and they have a good reason to not trust banks/corporations after the recession/bail out. The OWS mentality is still strong and corporations haven’t done enough to build trust back with the people. The aftermath of these tax breaks is a good starting point. I hope they make good on their promises of investing back into infrastructure and their employees. It would help if politicians and the media would stop lying to them about some Armageddon coming. There’s already enough AI doomsday going around. The general emotions I get from reading and talking to this generation is that they’re scared, uncertain, and directionless.
