1. If all the janitors and factory workers quit immediately, where would the CEO be? Every organisation is a collaboration from top to bottom. The happier everyone is the better it will function.
2. What evidence do you have that the CEO does 300x as much work?
3. It's a pretty damn politlcally powerful + fiscally developed country for somewhere that's "backward".
Joke post or anerican?

IKEA and mercadona also do something similar (not so big of a paycheck though) if their sales go well that year.
Same in the UK and in every bank across the world
The janitors' salary is probably 1/100th as much as the CEOs.
Is that good enough for you?
The bonus is a thanks to everyone in the organisation for keeping it running so well.

He is joking guys.
Although I did read outraged comments on Reddit because an engineer contributes to the success much more than a janitor does, while still getting the same bonus. Damn corporate Anglo-Saxon thoughts. I'm sure an engineer at Porsche is already getting an above average salary compared to the rest of the industry.

It's so hard to tell.

Ehm, while great, this bonus is not something Porsche specific, it is pretty standard for OeMs to pay a yearly bonus based on profits to all employee (at least in Germany)
I think they make somewhere between 70-80k per year? Quite a bit more than I make, also Engineer but in a different industry.
Meanwhile in America...https://www.google.com/amp/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58b5dd1be4b060480e0c78a1/amp

The fuck
But commas as decimal points doesn't make sense :S for 9 Euros and 11 cents that would be a decimal point, like 9.11
It's not that it doesn't make sense, it's just a different standard. If you'd have grown up with it you wouldn't have an issue with it.

Nice.
Here in the good old USA at my Fortune 500 (100) company, I don't even get a cost of living allowance raise this year, and new hires now get 2 weeks of vacation per year down from the 3 they used to get.
They've probably got to make sure our CEO gets another massive increase in compensation, and how else are they expected to pay for the robots to replace us?

The more shocking part is the pound nearly at a 1:1 ratio with the dollar. Sad.
But really, awesome for the workers.

But surely in school and university (i.e. maths) decimal points are used for numbers ? In which case it's an arbitrary changearound? (Not saying we in the UK are invulnerable to arbitrary stuff but this is really confusing.)
I've been working with some Swedish guys for over a year and they put floats like 100.70 but then if they're talking about 100 euros and 70 cents they write 100,70. Just what? It's still a decimal floating point number.

I'm not sure but the backslash is that there are still many workers who do the same but don't get the bonus and the salary is also less because one part of it is paid to brokerage companies.
y... I never got that "argument" until I started reading books about "shareholder value" and how shareholding differs from Anglo-Saxon countries to everyone else. If Porsche was a US or UK company, that money would've gone to shareholders, no doubt.
really? I thought it was pretty obvious... but I'm also used to reading shit like that all the time

nice gesture
What do you mean? A lot of non-English countries use the comma as a decimal separator and they all use the metric system.
All the green countries use a comma as decimal separator.
It's also the ISO standard for technical drawings.
No, commas are used everywhere in those countries - when you learn math in school you write "100,70" and not "100.70" . The guys you are working with probably use a mix because they interact with English speakers and English software on a regular basis. It's possible to choose which you want to use in software like MS Office, but it's not the case with all programs (which are made first and foremost for English speakers).

usually in germany you will get a thirteenth salary called christmas money. not everywhere but quite customary. sometimes you also get some extra money for vacation as well. depends on employer though.
porsche probably gives their employees both (as they are under IG Metall collective agreements) and that 9000€ is on top of that
also the engineers will probably have better employment contracts and individual bonuses as well

For the janitors that's probably about another years salary on top. Mad respect, but not surprising. I had the opportunity to witness their workflow optimization Crews a few years ago. They put a lot of value on treating workers right.
What? This comment is the outrageous thing.
