Boss calls me this morning to inform me I'm taking tomorrow afternoon off along with a bunch of other IT people (I'm a contractor). He bought tickets to Matrix Reloaded for all of us :omg:

Is there something up his sleeve ?? All of my boss' are nice people, but nah, I've always had to pay for my own lunch. Except that one meeting where we got catering because the other catered meeting, before us, was cancelled. So my point is, What's he planning. :suss:

Hmmmmm .... I dunno! We've all been working pretty hard of late, so maybe this is just a "thank you" type of deal. I hope ... :~

Hmm, what if you'd said you didn't want to see the movie. Would he still let you have the afternoon off? As you are a contractor, will you still get paid for the hours you don't work whilst seeing the movie? Michael 'War is at best barbarism...Its glory is all moonshine.

I've actually run into similar things at my work. I've got a few people under me, and have to figure out ways to deal with them (and in particular, motivation). My boss has used stuff like movies and lunches/dinners etc in the past, and it has been well received. Although employee's still feel like they're going to get fired soon or something like that... i've been hesitatnt with doing the movies/lunches thing in the past because i felt like it would put a 'whats he planning' sort of feeling in my troops. I suppose thats due to infrequency... But it's good to see the employees do appreciate it... i might have to up the frequency in the future.:-D

I just got back from the local theater, unfortunately they were already sold out for tonight's 10pm showing. I do have a ticket for tomorrow at 7pm though :cool: I think its funny that Daddy Day Care is showing on two screens, while the Matrix is only on one. Funnier yet because this is the first time I've ever seen my local theater sell out of anything. James "It is self repeating, of unknown pattern" Data - Star Trek: The Next Generation
