OMG!: Boss Rewards Over 800 Employees With A Vacation on Caribbean cruise

Bertch Cabinets, a cabinet manufacturing company in Iowa is giving over 800 of its employees a treat of their lives as the company announced it will take them on a week-long Caribbean cruise  in January, as a reward for a successful business year.

The company announced the vacation on Facebook.

“Bertch is excited to announce a company wide vacation!” they wrote on Dec. 20. “We will be closing all facilities January 9-13 so we can set sails for the sunny Caribbean! This trip wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of our incredible Bertch associates!”

The Boss elaborates on the vacation plans below:

“We leave Jan. 8,” company president Gary Bertch told the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier. “We’ve got four charter aircraft that will be flying directly to Miami Sunday and staying at a nice five-star hotel. Then on Monday, we’ll bus over from the hotel to the port and load up on the ship.”

From there, the week-long vacation on a Carnival ship will make stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Key West, Florida.

The much excited Boss continued to say these words about their achievements:

“We were anticipating we’d have better sales again this year,” he said. “We just tried to get all of our people pumped up a little more to achieve the various goals, both customer-oriented goals and financial goals.”

“We’re happy we were able to achieve our goals. And they’re never easy. The financial goal was the big one,” he said. “We hit the other goals. Not by much. But we hit them. We’re looking forward to the following year.”
