Benevolent Boss: Difference between revisions

* Besides gaining a reputation for durable and stylish footwear, the Filipino shoe brand Ang Tibay (lit. So Durable or It's Durable) was also lauded for the company's treatment of its employees. According to one article,<ref>[https://www.philstar.com/lifestyle/modern-living/2002/04/20/157909/way-we-wore The Way We Wore]</ref> company founder Teodoro Toribio spared no expense at looking after his workers as not only was the work facilities at his [[Art Deco]]-inspired factory well-lit and ventilated, Toribio had recreational facilities installed such as an employee lounge and even a bowling alley (decades before such facilities became common in companies such as [[Ubisoft]] and [[Facebook]] among others), and provided housing near the factory premises. It helps that Toribio lived a [[Rags to Riches]] story himself, knowing how it felt like to be impoverished and thus gave back to those who have been in the same situation as he was prior to his success.
