Vic boss hands out $15m to his staff
Bus operator Ken Grenda would win the award of Australia's most generous boss hands down after divvying up $15 million to his staff as a reward for their hard work and loyalty.
The 1800 workers at the Victorian family-owned bus company Grenda thought their banks had made an error when they discovered thousands of dollars in their accounts, the Herald Sun said.
They received an average $8500 - with some bonuses as high as $30,000 - with the sale of the business after 66 years.
Mr Grenda, the major shareholder, played down the best boss moniker, instead paying tribute to his staff.
"A business is only as good as its people, and our people are fantastic," he said.
"This is to recognise that. We have had people here who are second generation, and one fellow in the same job for 52 years."

Corp. gives bonuses to high performers = greedy wall street.
What am I missing?
2-3% tops which they give, will not take place. Joke
I bet those VPs are getting their bonus's though.
yeah its all right...continue to fuck over your hard workers... see where that gets ya when the office shuts down in 2yrs... people wont commute they will take the package dumbasses
sorry had to vent after seeing such an awesome boss and what they did for loyality and hard working people..
People just get mad at big numbers, but you know that. Theres also a bit of difference in incentives here. Wall st firms are trying to keep their top performers, while this guy had sold his company and was no longer in the market to keep employees happy.
Both sound equally cool to me.
