[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Years ago I had a non tipper working for me. He did not give mailman or even his nanny a holiday tip.  I was joking once as he was proud of it and said does that mean I can give your Christmas bonus to the other staff. He said no that is different.

I go how I pay you to work and the bonus is optional and an extra for good work. I stopped very quick went whoops don’t want HR in here.

But I still find it unusual non tippers and non bonus people demand they get there bonus [/quote]

I see the difference.  The guy who wants his bonus works for YOU.  The bonus is not guaranteed, but is part of his calculation in whether he will work at your company.  You are free not to give him a bonus and he is free not to work for you.  Contract workers work for their company.  When we go in and make large tips, we are subsidizing the ability of the company to continue to recruit workers at the same low wage level because people assume that their income will be larger anyway.

I understand feeling sympathy for the earlier PP making $15 out of $125 per hour, but let's be honest.  That's pretty deceptive of the company, since most folks would assume that the worker is receiving a higher percentage of the price.  I want the company to pay their workers whatever it takes to recruit and retain them, and then I will know the true price of their service before I hire them.  Tipping skews everything about the economic model.[/quote]
