    I know someone who is bringing all his staff to Vegas for a Christmas party, and the company isnt exactly rolling in money, and he doesnt like Vegas at all himself

    Company just gave me two months off fully paid in order for me to be in Ireland with my mom as she was diagnosed with cancer and rapidly died from it. When she passed away, a condolence email was sent around the whole company, which was about 15,000 people, which resulted in numerous colleagues but total strangers offering their condolences.
    Really made me feel part of a family rather than a employee.

Anyway on his third or four day with us he got news from home that the girlfriend had lost the baby ,,The boss at the time send a car ,got him to the airport ,paid for his flight and give him 3 weeks wages and told him the job would be there if he decided to return in the future.

    One of my managers was an absolute delight to work with. Understood college was the priority for me and gave me days off and even asked when do I want time off for study etc. Organised poker nights for us and the staff. Get all the drink in for us not extra charge. Most importantly of all he gave me alot of autonomy and responsibility. Combination of all that stuff made me work twice as hard for him.

    As a former Employer , I did my best to always look after my" Employees". I always mentioned them as "People I worked with" rather than "Employees" . Should I ever meet any of them , I never need to look down and avoid eye contact. Its nice to see the responses on this thread , we were not all Monsters after all!!!

    My employer had doughnuts and fresh popcorn for everybody on site (500 people plus on site) on Monday. Its not as extravagant as some here but its a small thing that is appreciated.
