In a $6 million parting gift from the former owner of the Phoenix Suns and Mercury basketball teams, new billionaire Robert Sarver has authorized a one-time bonus of $20,000 to every full time employee of the organization who’d been employed by the organization at least one year.
Staff was notified via email from new owner Mat Ishbia, titled “Great News to Share”, prompting a wave of whoops and hollers up and down the corridors of the facilities at Footprint Center. Staff were ecstatic, another sign that the good times are starting to roll.
Those $20,000 payments will be deposited into the bank accounts of some 250-300 employees today via direct deposit.
