Over 800 employees of Queensland Nickel received AUD 10 million worth of Christmas bonuses from their boss, Mr. Clive Palmer. Palmer gave his 55 top performers new Mercedes B Class Hatch cars. 750 employees received trips for two to Fiji while the 60 employees who joined the team less than 6 months ago received trips to Port Douglas. The company was losing AUD 10 million a month prior to Palmer’s takeover in 2009. Since then, production has increased by 30%, translating into hundreds of millions of dollars for Queensland. The bonuses were given as a token of appreciation to thank the employees for their hard work and dedication.
