'There’s a great sense of fun in SalesForce. Each floor is decorated with a theme, pictures on the walls are of employees just being themselves and every now and then you might even see a senior manager in a red nightie throwing a frozen turkey at the local park. But having fun at SalesForce is not just about being silly. It’s about combining Fun, Focus and Fulfilment. SalesForce believes that Fun without Focus can be dangerous, so staff need to Focus on the success of the business. Then, when you have Fun and Focus, you create Fulfilment-the ability to be yourself and to achieve.'
from the 'induction' book of my company, that was just handed out to all the new recruits... Kill me.

"Fun without focus can be dangerous"? Big brother is watching!!!
On a side note, I think I would rip my eyes out if I saw my manager wearing a red nightie.

My response would add fourth "F" to the list, but that's the sort of attitude that's kept me out of the job market.
Maybe you could write a book about it later. THink of it as paid research.

Does that mean they are OK with you posting to Legion World from work? We're fun and you can focus on us. And you'll have the fulfillment of being yourself and achieving a high post count.

joeboy, if you can stomach working for an outfit that puts forward such dribble, and probably tries to live up to it, you're a braver man than I.

Well I dont do the sales part...I just get to sit on the phone yelling at Airline people all day, And I dont have to get up till 2 in the afternoon. ...that being said it is hard to stomach at times. Especially the sweaty men in bad swimwear that parade around the office on Australia day *shudders*

while im in school i have to work a retail job so i can keep my self alive, so today at macys i work in hand bags we were open early round 8, so that messed up the lunch breaks, i really didn't eat breakfast and i had a very small dinner, so when it got to 11:30, i was going to take my lunch because i was starving. my co worker then said you me "wait till you coverage shows up." this means i had to wait till 2:30, so i bite the damn bullet and wait at 2:25 i go to leave and the same coworker said. "you can hold off another five minutes." wouldn't take the keys away, and sure enough in that five minutes, i got stuck with the customer that need to look at locked up every bag in the store bought one of the cheaper things we sell so she really didnt need to look at all the bags i had to take out for her, i dont get to leave for lunch till about 3 i left work a t 5
i can live with crap like that. i work in retail and ppl suck..i know this
what really gets to though is when i was helping the really aggravating lady, she kept saying things like. "oh you must hate me now, i know im getting to you now..hehe at lest you can say i've gave you a work out to day." and i cant say the things i want to as a reply "like yah you are, just pick a bag lady."

Maybe these might help next time, kidflash2fan.
"Oh, you must hate me now" - No, I hate social injustice. You just annoy the hell out of me.
"I know I'm getting to you now" - Yes, but up until now I've been doing a great job of hiding it, huh?
"At least you can say I gave you a workout." - Actually, you gave me the urge to stick this purse up your....

complaints line. I was hired for inbound sales but evidently I'm quite adept at yelling at yelling at people. someone calls, lodges a complaint or whatever, And I follow it up by giving those responsible a stern talking to if its a legitimate greivance.
