So we're going to look at the ones who, when the shutdown first happened, that they just started calling out sick right away and they didn't come in to work over the course of that 43 days. Those ones we'll look at. But We're going to pay a reward to those who didn't take any unexcused absences. They're the ones that actually came in every single day and did the great work. $10,000 bonus. And also the tech people, they come in and make sure the equivalent of works. We're going to reward them carrot and sticks. We're going to give carrots. I like that. (06:08–06:18)
