Default Brag: Work just paid for me to have boxing lessons

So as I am a most valued employee at my work, I just had my annual review and they were like we want to give people here more than a payrise that will make you happier at work w/e. Well last week they came and suggested they paid for me to do boxing lessons.

How freakin awesome [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Brag: Free Boxing Lessons
Brag: Get to do it during work hours.

Variance: I am doing this in the time I usually browse 2+2

Dunno, boxing lessons can run high. And sounds like there's no taxes on it, so ... could be a big win.

Grats, OP. Boxing lessons are pretty cool.

Nah i got a 12% raise + an extra 2% superannuation contribution comparatively (similiar I think to your 401k). This was back in July. They said they wanted to do something else though and they suggested it and it was really cool.

12% raise is pretty insanely great, extra 2% sure doesn't hurt, and extras besides? Virtually nobody, percentage wise, gets anything even close to that in America. That's easily better than a top 5%.

Instead of boxing lessons, maybe ask your boss for a grill so you can put another shrimp on the barbie!
