TAIWANESE shipping giant Evergreen, that made headlines in 2021 when its containership blocked the Suez Canal, is handing out massive bonuses to 3,100 workers after last year's sensational a jump in profits, reports Bloomberg.
The pay rise for this year is predicted to equal 10 to 11 months' wages in 2022. Workers are receiving bonuses alone equal to roughly five years' worth of income when combined with a sizable 50-month bonus they received in December last year.
evergreen reported a 39.82 per cent jump in profit after it made $16.25 billion for the financial year ending 2022 according to Singapore's Straits Times. The report stated the reason behind the huge profits was the growth in demand for consumer goods during the Covid-19 pandemic and rising geopolitical tensions.
The last time the company issued bonuses, it cost around $93 million, the report said.
