A boss says thank you

A retiring Michigan car dealer has crowned his career by giving each of his 89 employees $1,000 for every year they worked for him. Howard Cooper, of Ann Arbor, Mich., sold his dealership earlier this year, and last week shared his payout. One longtime bookkeeper received a $46,000 check, while a mechanic who started in July received $83. Cooper also stipulated in the sale that the dealership’s new owner must retain his staff. “I wanted to thank my employees,” said Cooper, “and that was a way I could do it.”
