Washington Post Employees to Receive $2,021 ‘Special Bonus’ for ‘Exceptional Service’

If you work at The Washington Post, congratulations, you’re starting the new year with some extra cash in the bank. That’s because all Washington Post employees are receiving a “special bonus” of $2,021 within the next week, WaPo reporter Jose A. Del Real tweeted on Thursday night. (WaPo reporter Mike Rosen also confirmed the new year’s bonus.)

Per Del Real’s tweet, WaPo publisher Fred Ryan said in an email the bonus is a sign of “gratitude for your exceptional service through the challenges of 2020.” The paper, like most other major outlets, covered the COVID-19 pandemic and 2020 presidential race, among other topics, last year.
