Jerry Murrell, the CEO of Five Guys, a fast-food chain, gave a $1.5 million bonus to employees across the stores. But the reason was not what one might have been expecting. The CEO was just scared and did not want to meet his 'Luigi Mangione' anytime soon. Earlier this year, the CEO admitted frankly that his kindness was only to save his back and that he did not want to get shot.
In February, Five Guys organized a two-for-one promotion to celebrate its 40th anniversary. They thought it would be just like another promotion but the response was unexpected. Their app crashed and many outlets had to withdraw the offer early.
