The only issue I have with big parties is that once you start them, you can’t stop them. I remember the first job I had out of college. The company frequently sent its employees on annual trips. The year before I came it was a cruise in the Bahamas. The year I started they scaled it back. It was still an incredible event, with Jay Leno as the guest. But it was held locally, and people complained loudly.

It’s Bob’s money in the end (privately held company). Even if he didn’t throw the party, who’s to say he’d give money away to people? I think it’s great that he does this for his employees with his own money. BTW, I have heard they give away money to the employees at these events as well.

Well, it’s all Bob’s money. I’m sure Phoenix is grateful that he is pumping it back into the economy through more than just paychecks.
