[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure we need a new thread every time a company announces they'll be giving bonuses, investing in their workers, raising minimum wage, etc. due to the tax reforms. That'd clog the forum up  :mrgreen: (as it kind of has!)

So, I thought it might be helpful to compile a master list of companies that are making investments in their workforce. Feel free to add to this thread when more announce.
