Hilcorp Energy, of Houston, TX., Handed Out $100,000 Bonuses to All Employees [View all]
Hilcorp Energy, a privately-held oil and natural gas exploration and production company based in Houston, just bestowed all 1,381 of its employees with a bonafide Christmas miracle.
Twenty-six-year-old Hilcorp, which has appeared on Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work list for three years running, has handed out $100,000 bonuses to each of its staffers, which amounts to a company-wide payout of more than $138 million.
"It’s just a true gift," Hilcorp’s receptionist, Amanda Thompson, told Fox 26 Houston, "and I think myself, along with everyone, is not going to give any less than 100% each day."

Thompson said employees are using the bonus to retire early, remodel their homes, take vacations, pay for their children’s college tuitions or simply saving it for a rainy day.
