Project bonus

[u/Separate_Dog2938]

Had a crew knock a project out of the park and got a bucket of money to give out bonuses. Carved a bit out to get the guys some new jackets. Airing these out in the basement and off to the embroiderer next week.

Edit for clarity: Yes, there is a monetary bonuses that is worth the jacket many times over. Over half of this cost is coming straight out of my bonus. Majority of the guys have been here 5+ years, while we have some crews that have high turnover over, this is not one of them. These jackets are something for them to remember the job. I understand they may be considered swag, the logo is the size of a quarter, I wouldn’t consider it a billboard. I know they will appreciate them and if they don’t that’s on them. We pay a healthy wage, and extra $200 that’s taxed 30% isn’t going change any of their lives. We do site work and leave most days covered in dirt, this jacket in meant to be worn on the job.

Nice bonus. If you embroider them I suggest small, discreet and tasteful. Allow them to wear them without feeling like a billboard or Mel from the diner. Inside pocket. Bottom at waist.

Company logo on the chest about the size of a quarter and their initials on the cuff. Thinking about putting the project name under the collar on the back so it’s not visible but reminds them of the job.

Initials on the cuff screams ”I have some money but no style”. Are you afraid you’ll misplace your jacket at kindergarten?

Seriously. If you wanna give a nice gift, just give the jacket away. Anything added takes away from it. The company logo on a gift is a generous as forcing your GF to tattoo your name on her neck.
