I have a guy that works for me (or I should say, I am his manager) and although he is a salesman, he is on a salary with no bonus. He's done a very good job for me with little trouble over the last three years. This year, looks like we will make our annual number - 22% growth over the previous year. So, since he's shown a budding interest in deer hunting and does'nt have a bolt action rifle... I'm going to surprise him next week with a new Savage Axis .270 Win with a Nikon Prostaff 3x9 scope installed.
This guy is a big bruiser but is very emotional - he'll probably tear up when I take him to the counter and present the gun to him
I am really looking forward to this. Before I started working for the company, he reported to a "hard ass" type manager who would never even consider doing something like this - in fact, he rarely even patted this guy on the back for a job well done...
I'm going ahead to make the purchase at a Cabelas and then I'm having him meet me there so we can "figure out where to go eat". The other guy that reports to me, who does have a bonus is in on this - indicated that he'd like to chip in a $100 - which I think is good of him. The guy getting the rifle works with this other guy and his hard work definately benefits him.
