Unexpected £500.00 Bonus!
« on: April 01, 2004, 11:48:52 PM »
We have been short staffed and working hard at my office.
In our most recent pay we each found a £500 bonus as a token of our Boss's appreciation.  Wasn't that great??!!
Has anyone else been pleasantly surprised at work?  It really makes me feel a bit guilty about complaining about the work load!

That was a VERY nice gesture!
Really makes a difference, doesn't it?
Married to Graham, we run our own open-source computer training company in beautiful Wiltshire out of our 1814 Georgian Regency home (a former lodging house and once featured in Antiques Roadshow)

That's awesome!  Congrats!  My bonuses come more in the smiles of children - though the biggest surprise came when three families gave a combined $500 towards my walk against breast cancer!  I liked that one! (But would love yours at this point now!)

Oh, that's great.  $500 for a breast cancer walk is a gift that keeps on giving!

Wow- what a nice bit of encouragement!

Thanks for sharing it- it's great to hear when someone has been appreciated in such a tangible way!
