After the Boss Used My Bonus to Pay the Staff's Year-End Bonuses

At the company's year-end review meeting, the boss used poor business results as an excuse to demand that I hand over my entire year's commission to be given to employees as their year-end bonus. My coworkers all lit up with delight. "You drive a BMW to work every day and don't even have a mortgage. You really should look after those of us working hard to support our families." "The company can only do well if its employees do well. You need to have a spirit of sacrifice." I nodded and smiled, then immediately called the client to put their payment on hold. When they realized they wouldn't receive the outstanding payment by year-end and couldn't even make payroll, they panicked. One by one, they came crawling back to me with pleading smiles.
