When I worked for GAM, Steve Knott (RIP), used to give all of his staff a christmas card with $100 cash inside it. To me it meant a lot than just simply putting it in your bank account. I hope this tradition has continued.
In fact a funny story once transpired with him sending the ADL cards to us and SYD cards to adelaide....needless to say after a fair amount of scrambling the day before christmas we all got our bonuses!
