Spanx founder Sara Blakely announced last week that she is gifting employees two first-class plane tickets and $10,000 to spend on their trip after the company announced a deal with private equity firm Blackstone.
“This is a very big moment for each and every one of you,” Blakely appeared to tell employees in a video posted last week on Instagram.
Later in the video, she spun a small globe in front of employees.
“I’m spinning a globe because, to celebrate this moment, I have bought each one of you two first-class tickets to anywhere in the world,” she added, prompting cheers and shocked reactions.
“You know, if you go on a trip, you might want to go out to a really nice dinner. You might want to go out to a really nice hotel. So, with everybody’s two first class tickets to anywhere in the world, you are each getting $10,000,” Blakely added.
