I've also heard of multiple companies having severe staffing issues, even enough so where they had to back out of contracted work. Hopefully this leads to higher wages and more positions in the short term. Unfortunately for clients the mass exodus of talent over the last 8 years has led to a complete degradation of quality and efficiency in work these days.

Not sure who's getting these bonuses. I haven't heard of anyone around here getting them.
I guess first world problems. But i would be happy if oil/gas prices came back down a bit and if anything we were punching a few less wells to keep reservoirs more sustainable longer too.
Most folks around here are still putting in 15hr worth of work in a 10 hr day just to keep up and theres no wage increases to make up for inflation.
Hopefully its coming i guess.
