Well, just for comparison's sake, employees at Google are able to give each other bonuses that are worth more than that. They're subject to manager approval of course, but they can be given for things as simple as "this person was my go-to help for understanding this new platform I haven't worked on before". So take that for what it's worth.
- r00fus 10y agoThat's pretty awesome - like a real tip-jar. I wonder how much it gets abused...

Also, some limits on the sending and receiving sides, but I have not heard of hitting them except one case, when an engineer fixed a nasty bug affected thousands of engineers. He got many tens of peer bonuses the same day, but only had first N of them approved (which makes perfect sense)
- throwaway95436 10y agoWe use something similar at our company, we use the http://www.achievers.com/ http://www.achievers.com/ platform for this. We get new credit every month, which we can give to anyone in that month, but if you do not give them away they expire. We do not talk about big bonuses (as I am aware the credits value is different by location, at mine it is much less then 100 USD for a month), but yeah, it is abused.. Some colleagues just exchange it on the end of the month.
