A local CA company went public and everyone that worked for it was an instant millionair, some far more.
One of my uncles worked for GM in during the depression, he received a bonus of $27,000 in the early 1930's.
I have received pay increases of more than 60 percent and stock options. Significant bonus, very significant. But I have also worked for some of those companies similar to HP and I have a lot of worthless paper to paste on the wall, oh and there was the $100 from the civil service for a patent I got when I worked for the AF.
Bottom line, if you work for a good company and you contribute you will be rewarded, if you work for a schlock place you will get the golden banna. I once came up with a new reward for one place I worked for, I called it the copper turd award. Then if you were CEO of say ENRON....
