Among a number of record-setting statistics, sales rose 7.9 percent to $33.6 billion euros ($51.5 billion). Fortunately for Audi employees, the automaker recognizes that its fantastic fiscal performance wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of each and every little guy. Audi has decided to take some of its profits, around 222 million euro, and distribute it among some 45,000 employees at its Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm operations via the company's extended employee profit sharing plan. The average Audi worker will get a 5,300 euro bonus, which equates to $8,138 USD. That's a 43% increase compared to the bonuses handed out last year, and enough to buy a bitchin' plasma TV with enough left over for a PS3 (or pay bills, whatever). Of course, the bonus varies per worker and consists of a undisclosed base amount, a seniority bonus and then the part that represents how well the company did that year. Regardless, Audi employees should be pretty pleased with themselves come pay day. <br /><br />[Source: Audi, <a href="http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080311/AUTO01/803110406/1148/AUTO01">The Detroit News</a>]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/audi-employees-earn-big-8-000-bonuses/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Audi employees earn big $8,000+ bonuses</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/12/audi-employees-earn-big-8-000-bonuses/">Audi employees earn big $8,000+ bonuses</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 12 Mar 2008 11:29:00 EST.
