Hostess employees in Emporia are enjoying surprise bonuses.
The company recently handed out bonuses of up to $1,000 for each of its nearly 2,000 bakery and warehouse employees across its operations, including the bakery near 15th and Industrial. Chief People Officer Rob Weber says the bonus reflects the employees’ hard work and dedication over the past several months, especially as supply chain issues have forced employees to change their schedules in order to keep plants operating.
It’s the second bonus for Hostess frontline employees this year. Hostess gave bonuses of up to $750 per worker for the same reasons just after the start of the year.
