Giving a worker an additional amount after repairing the car

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I had my car repaired at a workshop and agreed with the manager of this workshop on a sum of money. One of his workers repaired my car, exerting effort and being sincere in his work. When he finished, this worker asked me for a small additional amount for himself, and I agreed to give it to him. Is there any religious prohibition in this?

Answer:
Yes, this is a bribe, because it ruins the situation for the second one. They do not polish their cars to the required standard unless they are given [money]. This is a bribe. Yes.
