New hires with experience getting bonuses?

Anyone else here the rumor that some new hires that have experience are getting a pretty large sign on bonus? I have heard this from several people and some are in the know on issues like these. Just trying to verify this.

Should be easy enough to verify. A freedom of information act request on the pay of the new hires should get that info. Unless RonnieMac is paying them out of his own pocket. :lol:
