Start a bonus rumor? (lemmy.world)

I'm thinking about starting a rumor at work about a bonus. Eg "does anyone else know what's going on with the mid quarter bonus?" There is no bonus but wondering if a rumor gets started if it can cause management to maybe give one because of employee expectations. Do you think this will work?

If you’re at a mid to large size company your direct managers likely don’t have any authority to give a bonus. There’s simply no budget they have access that go directly into paychecks.

I like the idea of trying to help your coworkers but I worry that rumor would be more disappointing to them vs any positive outcome.
