There has been a lot of buzz around the water cooler about how expensive it is to get to and from work every day, which lately seems almost as costly as keeping snacks in the office. While we all enjoy working at eVisibility and having the great perks to keep us here, we were beginning to think that it might not even be possible to be kept here; not by our own discretion, but mainly because it is literally wiping our wallets and gas tanks dry to get here.

Danny has eyes and ears all over the office, so if someone whispers any sort of buzz like this, he will find out. And find out he did. The problem was thinking up a way to keep us all here happily (fed with snacks or not) and to get us back to working a full 40 hours a week instead of standing around the water cooler. Logically, we all figured maybe a raise was in our favor, so that we can afford the gas to get here. A couple people even thought of outsourcing the gas and having it hoarded in our old office. But alas, Danny thought about it as a true CEO would and came up with a brilliant plan; and then there was eVisibility. Ha!

Danny called us all together and graciously announced that he understood gas was threatening our ability to maintain a happy work environment, especially since gas has been increasing over the last months. He also began to reminisce with us about how gas used to only cost $2.25.We aren’t sure how long he took to come up with this number or if he just picked his lucky number 2.25 (2.25 million dollar goal for the company, keeping less than avg. 2.25% turnover rate, someday getting an 2.25 average placement on Google for all clients). It’s been so long since we have seen a number like that in terms of gas, so I even thought about suggesting the price at $1.25. The outcome is that he will pay the difference in the price of gas from the current price. To make it fair, he is grouping people up into south county people and those that live close to work. In the end, everybody wins! Now if we could just find a way to tell him about our grocery and living expenses…
