Hi,
We recently gave all of our employees their yearly Christmas bonuses. As in years past, they are given in cash and they are responsible for the taxes. Suddenly this year they had a massive witchfest (when we were out of the office) about having to pay taxes on their bonus. Including our office manager, who sent us a rude and snide email about it. We responded with that would be the end of the Christmas bonuses and writing up the manager for gross insubordination for his snide email.
Now there are bad feelings all around. We are hurt because we did this out of good faith and to thank our employees. It is the same as it has been every year but they decided this wasn't enough. I don't even know of many places (and these are young kids, not career people) that give them anymore. They are upset with us for having to pay taxes on their income. How do we resolve this situation? I don't have exactly the warm fuzzies about it. Christmas bonus used to be my favorite day.
