I’m thinking about starting a rumor at work about a bonus. Eg “does anyone else know what’s going on with the mid quarter bonus?” There is no bonus but wondering if a rumor gets started if it can cause management to maybe give one because of employee expectations. Do you think this will work?
That would never work. There is a better chance there will be layoffs cause by a mid-quarter bonus rumor, definitely a mass email to dispell the rumor.
Do it anyways, just to seed some chaos.
