Boss Surprises Workers With Huge Windfall

Hundreds lined up for hugs after their boss surprises workers with huge windfall that nobody expected.

The founder of the Chobani Greek yogurt empire, Hamdi Ulukaya, who immigrated to the US with nothing, surprised his employees by giving them 10% ownership in the company. This move could earn each of the workers hundreds of thousands of dollars. . . each.

“This community and this country has been so great to us, and I’d like to return that favor…” Hamdi said.
