Title: True Story
Post by: wombatie on February 02, 2012, 12:48:55 am

A Mr Grenda sold his bus company that he started about 50 years ago and decided to give his workers a bonus so he shared $15million between them.  Depending on the length of time they had been there it went from $30,000 down to $850 to the guy that had been with him for just 3 months.  My daughter know this family personally because her boy friend goes on weekend jaunts with his sons and they also play gold together. A few years ago my daughters footy team were to play in the grand final and she could not afford to go so he sent her 2 free tickets.  What a fantastic guy he is, I would say the best.

Good on him!

It is nice to see someone willing to take care of those that worked hard for them and one that has a sense of community as well. People like this are rare indeed. The world would be better off with a few more like this.

Hi Marg We've had this about the gentleman on radio and TV here in Scotland. It is nice when a business man realises that without his workers he would have no business. Hope some of the big money grabbers are paying attention.
Best wishes Marge.
