Poads, Poads, and more Poads!!!!

[Starbreeze]

😆 No…just a lot of people who are annoyed. 😆

[Maria]

Well if it’s unanimous, can’t you all vote to have the pep talk stop?

[Starbreeze]

😆 No, because management thinks it’s a wonderful idea!!! They are so out of touch!!! 😆

[Maria]

Some management. 🙄 Poor star.

[Starbreeze]

It’s a job. It pays the bills and lets me buy new Windstones. 😉

[Maria]

Can’t beat that, I guess. 😆

I love the “pep talks” they give, too. I think they want us to give 150% right now and once reach that goal, they’ll up it to 200%. 😕 Rah! Rah! Rah!

Yep, that’s about right. 🙄

Even if people wanted to be encouraged by pep talk, from what I’ve seen of it this chatter of “team” and “we can do it” is too childish to be taken seriously. It’d like they’re talking to a bunch of first-graders staging a sports events.

Exactly. We don’t want to play games, do arts and crafts or anything else that reminds us of Kindergarten. We are full grown adults. I don’t think mgmt. has the right to humiliate us, but as Star said, they think their ideas are wonderful. 🙄 Off the top of my head, we’ve played golf, volleyball, softball, badmitten, football, bowling, fishing, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Deal or No Deal, trivia several times, darts, Telephone, done exercises, counted to 20 without interrupting each other, pinned the tail on the donkey, broke a pinata, played blackjack and poker….a supv. even trucked in a full size Pac Man machine…all in a fairly small office. I hate playing sports, contests and all kinds of games, so it’s torture for me. lol

[Starbreeze]

Okay….you win!!! You have the wackiest management!!! 😯 😆

Did they have you do the chicken dance at some point too?

I got to do that in my new hire training class. 🙄

[Starbreeze]

I’m afraid to ask, but what is the chicken dance? 😯

[lamortefille]

Nope traviste, no chicken dance. Don’t give them any ideas! 😆 Poor you….I guess they wanted to humiliate the new hires right off the bat. 😡

star, I can’t even describe it….I’ll bet somebody has it on YouTube, though….

I forgot to add Bocce, horseshoes and MadLibs to the list.

Most of my immediate mgmt. hates coming up with this stuff, too. One thing I will say is that they throw us parties every couple of months, with lots of good food.

[Starbreeze]

Parties with good food, I wouldn’t mind. We have one at Christmas and one after the annual client meeting, but that’s it. 🙂
