Boss gives employees $7,500 for dream vacations

7/15/2012

Hey bosses, if you were thinking about dropping by Starbucks on your way to work to surprise the team with morning lattes, forget it. This guy totally has you beat as best boss ever. Rather than simply offering time off, Bart Lorang, CEO of the Denver-based tech startup FullContact API, gives his employees a whopping $7,500 to take vacations. There are only two stipulations: You have to actually take a vacation with the money, and you can't take any work calls, respond to emails, or tweet about the office while away. He is a true believer in rejuvenation time -- and in keeping employees happy. [Source]
