A friend of mine is a lawyer, and her boss took the entire staff (about 9 people) to Venice for the weekend to thank them for their hard work. Paid for flights, really nice hotel, food, the lot. Told my friend he had to give her a a pay rise, in spite of a recession and less work coming in, as she’d been so good at her job. Gives her paid time off whenever she needs, takes everyone to the pub for lunch on a Friday. Pays for work nights out to the cinema and stuff.
I’ve only ever had one decent boss. The rest have been useless duplicitous conniving (rude word)s. 🙁
