Best Work Perk Ever

Happy Monday!  While most of us trudge back to work, reflect on this:

Bart Lorang may be the best boss ever.
The CEO of Denver-based internet start-up FullContact API said in a market that is competitive for top talent, he wants to keep his employees happy and refreshed.
The flip-flop wearing founder offers his employees $7,500 for what he calls "paid, paid vacation," however there are rules.
"One, you actually have to take a vacation to get the money," Lorang said. "Two, you have to disconnect from work, so that means no calls, no emails, no tweets, no work of any kind."
Even Lorang admitted he has trouble following his rules.
"I suck at it," he said.
Good sir, I would be willing to give it a try.  Read the whole article for more awesomeness, including how he feels workers should be able to let go to do a better job in the long run.
