GoDaddy Spending 2 Million on Christmas Party

December 14, 2008 by Michele Neylon

While so many companies, both online and “bricks and mortar”, are feeling “the pinch” it’s interesting to see that some companies are actually blossoming.

GoDaddy, for example, is spending two million dollars on their staff party this year!

The company’s outspoken founder, Bob Parsons, is incredibly upbeat, which is refreshing:

“Someone asked me, why spend all the money on such a spectacular, expensive party…I say, why not? We’ve had our best year ever as a company and this achievement is because of our employees,” explained Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. “I learned a long time ago, if you treat your people right, the rest takes care of itself.”

You can read the full release over on the GoDaddy site

    We already had ours and it most definitely did not cost that much 🙂
