The dream of Dubai-Wish me luck!!

Options
Hi all,

Over the last 3 months my company have been running an incentive to increase profit, raise morale within the company and increase the level of customer service that we give.

There were 12 areas of the business and the top performers in each area every month won a prize.

My team rubbished the idea when it started but since then we have come top in our area over all 3 months resulting in us winning a christmas hamper, some vouchers and now some cinema vouchers.

I heard yesterday that we have made it through to the final. The winner will be decided on the feedback from our customers and feedback from my staff as to how good a manager I am.

If we win which is a 1 in 12 chance I get to go to Dubai and stay in a 7 star hotel with all my spending money and flights paid for.
My staff all get to go to Monte Carlo. and my manager gets to go to Lisbon.

I hope we win, it would be a fantastic opportunity to go away for us without us having to spend any money, plus it will show the company that I am ready for a promotion.

The winner is announced after a fantastic meal on Thursday the 13th March.

Wish me luck!!!!!:T

    ooh I hope you get to go to Dubai, I went a couple of years ago on a long stop over on the way to the Maldives, Dubai is fantastic, the Gold Souk is something else, all the hotels in Dubai are high class, I stayed in this one:

    I am currently saving to go back, it isn't really that expensive to go there anymore, When I went, we had private limousine transfer to the hotel and it cost a £1000 for two of us, all inclusive for 4 nights, including flying emirates, a fantastic airline.

    I'll stop waffling, I hope you get to go.
