Hey, I just wanted to express my graditude for you doing such a great job here, replying incredibly fast, which I didn't expect. You have plenty of valid points, and I'm about to give up on this bonus crap. I should be happy I got 2 new workers, yet I don't feel such sentiments. It's simply not worth it. It has been 80 game days (yes, I'm accurately keeping track) since I hired a new tailor. I even paid for day packs to speed it along. And in the end, I miss out on tons of experience and cash I would have earned otherwise, and the frustration (not to mention RAGE) is simply not worth it for me. Plus I have to deal with slow crafters, that is until you level them, which seems to take just as long as your first time around.

I had no idea there was a chance to receive less or no bonus. I've done the math on dozens of new workers, as detailed above in the wiki, and they always had the exact bonus based on level difference. Could be coincidence, but ultimately not worth the trouble since the benefits do not outweigh the setback, for me at least.
