Five Guys CEO Gave $1.5M Bonuses To Avoid Getting SHOT?!

Five Guys CEO admits he dropped $1.5M in bonuses to avoid getting shot -- yeah the 82-year-old founder Jerry Murrell straight-up told Fortune he shelled out a grand per store to his crews after their February BOGO burger promo turned into an absolute nightmare with lines wrapping the block, kitchens running dry, and employees left holding the bag for the chaos. He joked he didn’t want anybody shooting him in the back like the UnitedHealthcare CEO because they really screwed it up bad -- dark humor or not, that’s corporate America realizing pissed-off workers might not settle for a free fry anymore.
