Boss gives every employee £8,000 bonus and two first-class plane tickets anywhere

A boss who gave her entire staff £8,000 and two first class plane tickets as a bonus has been dubbed “the world’s best employer.” Sara Blakely gave out $10,000 bonuses to each of her employees.

A video has gone viral showing the moment the businesswoman, who started Spanx, which is valued at $1.2billion announced her remarkable gesture to staff, Birmingham Live reports.

“I’m spinning a globe because to celebrate this moment I have bought each one of you two first-class tickets to anywhere in the world,” she says. She continued: “You know, if you want a trip, you might want to go out to a really nice dinner, you might want to go out to a really nice hotel so, with every one of those two first-class tickets to anywhere in the world, you are each getting $10,000.”
