Another form of lameness
02.01.08 (1:25 pm)   [edit]
I decided to join the company’s Social Committee. I’d been on one in a previous life, and it was fun! I am almost regretting joining this one. I don’t ever want to work for another marketing company again.

So every month, we recognize employee anniversaries and birthdays. I guess it’s nice to get recognition for working here, but individual birthdays too? I’m so glad my birthday is in December and there was no official celebration that month. I don’t need everyone applauding for me as I walk towards the CEO to get my birthday card.

Anyway, the CEO wants to shake things up a bit for these monthly celebrations.

He wants to:

  • Rename “monthly celebrations.
  • Do an exciting announcement on the PA system prior to the meeting time.
  • Purchase a small podium for him to stand on.
  • Purchase a mic for him to address everyone (we have about 65 employees in the office).
  • Have a banner behind him when he speaks.

These announcements take about 15 minutes.

Yesterday I went to a chiropractic and massage therapy clinic for some massage therapy. I think this chiropractor sells the same orthotics as my last one…but he charges $100 less. I couldn’t believe the price difference!!!

Your CEO has an ego problem. All of those things are geared towards making HIM seem even more important. The podium physically raises him above everyone else, the microphone makes him louder than everyone else and the banner and announcements beforehand will make the whole event seem more important...which will make him seem more important. He must be feeling like he's not important enough!

I always thought he was somewhat down-to-earth, despite his taste for making all events big and flashy. BWAHAHA

Maybe he's down to earth but secretly wishes he was a great speaker! :P

That's the thing, though! He's not short!

The monthly celebrations thing reminds me of The Office. :-)

I wish The Office was on right now :-( Did you know that Angela is pregnant in real life? They would have written that into the show!
