A Vote for “Coolest Employer of the Year”

By JLP | April 10, 2009

An AFM reader sent this to me this morning:

Nichole Kern expected bad news when her employer unexpectedly announced a staff meeting Thursday afternoon.

Her husband’s workweek has been shortened, and bad economic news seems to be everywhere.

The couple are expecting and thrilled about the arrival of their baby girl in June, but that involves financial uncertainties as well.

Ken Pohlman, John DeBoer and John Torpy, owners of Midwest Laboratories Inc., are depositing an extra $1,000, minus taxes and withholding, into each of their 100 employees’ bank accounts Friday with instructions to use the money to help the economy.

“It’s our own stimulus package,” DeBoer said.

Pretty cool! You can read the article here.

It’s nice to read some good news every once in a while.
