and GoDaddy founder Bob
Parsons made sure his employees knew
they were appreciated by treating them to a $2
million holiday
party last Saturday night in Phoenix.
The gala event was staged at Chase Field
(home of the Arizona Diamondbacks major
league baseball team) and featured live performances
from Joan Jett, .38 Special and
comedian Sinbad.
In
addition to a fabulous feast, there were prize
drawings that doled out free motorcycles and cash
awards as high as $5,000. Parsons told the
crowd the largesse was possible, even in a severe
recession, because the company was part of a new
economic order being driven by the Internet.
"We're helping put millions of people on the
Internet so they can be part of the new
order. The new economy is going to allow America to
rise from the ashes of this recession," Parsons
said.
