I have worked here for 8 years and have worked for my current boss for going on 13 years and he has always been great to me. Since dealing with my H's cancer diagnosis and surgery and chemo, I am hanging on to my sanity by my fingernails these days. So my boss just called my cell and told me that he needed to talk to me and for me to go to a conference room (he works out of a different office). I immediately starting panicing that I was getting fired. So I get into the conference room and he told me that my direct supervisor was also on the line and then I started to really freak out about how I was going to pay the bills if I was fired and my H is out of work on mostly unpaid disability and and and. So then they tell me that they understand how hard things have been for me over the past few months so they decided to give me a week off, WITH PAY, next week so I can have some time to myself and get a breather. I was floored. They said there is no other motivation other than wanting to help me out and that they care about me. They told me I can't check email and am to forward all of my emails to the department admin and just totally disconnect myself. Spa afternoon here I come!!
Wow! That is amazing! It says a lot about your company, but a ton about you, too! I can guarantee they wouldn't make an offer like that to just anyone. You must be great at what you do!
That is awesome. Enjoy your freedom! Employers like that are so rare (I had one I wish I could have moved with me - lol.) It sounds like they know they have a valuable employee, and you have a very considerate and generous employer.

What fabulously thoughtful people! (And ones who actually understand that giving to their employees will make them better workers in the long run as well) Enjoy your time off and get all reinvigorated.
