Oklahoma TV station owner hands out $500 to each employee because ‘business is very good’

Bosses everywhere, take note: this is how to build company morale.

Yesterday, Oklahoma-based Griffin Communications, owner of Tulsa CBS and CW affiliates KOTV and KQCW as well as Oklahoma City CBS affiliate KWTV, thanked its employees for their hard work with cash.

"Today our company, Griffin Communications, decided to give every employee $500. Why? Because they own two of the top rated CBS stations in the country and business is very good. So this afternoon I am giving out $37,000 in cash to deserving employees. A day at the office doesn't get any better than that!" KOTV content director Ed Trauschke wrote on his Facebook page with an accompanying photo of five $100 bills.
