"Hardly anyone knew what was inside the red envelopes handed out at a Maryland real estate firm’s annual holiday party. So when employees at St. John Properties tore them open on Saturday, the surprise was palpable.

Eyebrows jumped. Hands flew to mouths. And tears flowed — lots and lots of them.

Inside the envelopes were holiday bonuses averaging $50,000 and totaling $10 million, life changing sums based solely on tenure. One man, a maintenance technician who started at the company in 1981, received more than $200,000."
