Alot of places would give out cool shit.. beer, cash, maybe even a laptop. They bought a Lotus Esprit and let the employee of the month have it for 30 days + a corporate gas card.

I think they lasted like 8 months.
The only Internet company in the dot com boom that didn't do shit like that was ebay. Great lesson in cost accounting and budgeting.
