I have been with my current firm for just over 6 months now.
In that time, I must admit I have learnt a great deal about everything related to the computer world.
I will admit that it can be a trifle bit embarrassing when you have people who are at least half your age, explaining your work to you. However, you just have to go with the flow and put a smile on your face and listen to what they are saying. After all, they may be knowledgeable about their computers, but I have plenty of life experience and could certainly tell them a thing or two. I think they probably look at me like I’m an old relic, and certainly well past my sell by date. Mind you, I reckon they could be quite shocked by some of my past misdemeanors and would certainly view me in a different light if they knew some of the things I got upto at their age!!
Where I work, our bosses really go out of their way to make sure the staff are well looked after.
We have a few computer consoles in the offices and at lunch time all the lads take part in their daily Xbox or Playstation challenge and it can get very riotous and competitive, however it is all taken in good spirit. We also have a full size pool table that is certainly very well used.
We also have a fantastic staff incentive scheme. This is in place for all members of staff who go just that little bit further than they have to.
It works quite well and we are nominated by other members of staff and then rewarded. So far I have managed to bag a great bottle of Spanish Wine and a fantastic bottle of French Wine.
Others have had tins of chocolates, beauty products, gift vouchers and so the list continues.
A nice bottle of Italian Wine has just been added to the collection of goodies so I might just have to work a little bit harder to see if I can get nominated!!
Right I am off to make drinks for everybody and see if I can earn myself a few extra brownie points.
