It’s 5 o’clock and time to say “later, dudes” – as in four weeks later. Chris Cain, Director of Software Development, and Erik Forsberg, Hosting Support Manager, are saying buh-bye – just for a while – to their team members and their very cool company, AppRiver.
After putting in at least four years of hard work, both are getting four weeks’ paid to take a break and recharge. Our hats are off to AppRiver.
Chris took the hybrid approach for his sabbatical. First, he’s heading to the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, NC, for a week-long executive development retreat (impressive). Then he’s taking a trip with his father (aaawwwww), after which he’s spending time at home with his wife and three children (nice).
Erik is focusing his time on one thing only – a renovation of his home in Pensacola, FL. Sometime tomorrow, he’ll be starting some serious demolition.
Both guys will be blogging on this site over the next four weeks, so stay tuned. There’s much to learn. And much to celebrate.
One Response so far (add yours)
Giving an employee paid time off really does show them how much they are appreciated. I look forward to hearing about their experiences.
