Pros
- You become numb to showing any signs of positive emotion for those 8-12 hours when you’re at your desk - Your coworkers become experts at describing the company as a meme...(Insert Ross shouting pivot!) - Beyond excited to use my new Benefitfocus journal to write down my anxiety induced thoughts at 2:00 am - Dogs and coffee are nice
Cons
- RESPECT the Circle of Excellence: Sales team bashes customer service. Customer service lacks confidence engineering. Engineering distrusts sales. - OWN IT! As shareholder, it’s important to read financial analyst’s articles because our stock continues to hit a 52 week low. - TOGETHER the one common theme is the lack of confidence in our leadership’s direction or strategy, but that strategy will probably change before you finish reading this - COMMUNITY of mediocrity. Don’t worry, you’ll still get that 3% annual increase after your review regardless of how well your manager said you did this year - ANTICIPATE that if you have a senior manager scared to talk to a customer, it’s not advised to promote them over an entire market - CELEBRATE that we love to buy new shiny tools and widgets, then a year later attempt to figure out how to use them properly
