A bonus of almost ten grand probably isn’t anything to write home about for a top-level Porsche executive, but this particular bonus is going to everybody on the Porsche payroll, from factory workers and janitors on up. It was made possible not simply by Porsche’s generosity but through negotiations by the company’s works council, as explained by Porsche works council chair Uwe Hück in the press release: In case you’re wondering what kind of banner year Porsche would have to have in order for the people who keep the bathrooms clean to get a bonus of almost ten grand, the 2016 fiscal year saw a six percent increase in deliveries totaling 237,778 Porsche vehicles, for a total revenue of 22.3 billion euro.
