I’m so glad it’s Friday!

So the Social Committee is now called the Fun Committee…A ski night is being organized on a Tuesday night. An email was sent out asking people interested in going to reply. I guess there weren’t enough replies, so the HR woman went around asking everyone individually if they were planning on going, if not, why not, and would a different day be better.

13 people have signed up to go (out of about 65 people in the office), and our COO wants more people to participate. How much more effort do we have to put in to get some interest? Because the numbers are so low, the company is willing to fit the bill for lift tickets only.

I would consider going if it wasn’t downhill skiing, if all my costs were covered, if lessons were provided, and if transportation was provided. Otherwise, why would I want to spend my free time with coworkers on a week night? (And oooh, if we go skiing, we are allowed to leave 2 hours early!)

At our quarterly meeting earlier this week, we were told that the Employee Handbook was going to be made available the next day. Well, it wasn’t. And the HR woman is on vacation until next week.

I thought it might be stored on the public drive, like our last incomplete manual was. I didn’t find it, but I did find current employees’ resumes and their email communication during their hiring process, and even some information about salary. Rejected applicants are also on the public drive. Why is this information even available? If I found any of my personal information on the public drive, I’d definitely be saying something. People need a lesson on electronic information and privacy around here.

Our Office Manager’s last day was last Friday. Her email address is still active and being used! There are actually procedures that somewhat created on what to do with employees when they’ve left.

I also found my corporate head shot. It’s more like a profile shot. I don’t like it at all!

I don’t think working for small or marketing companies is for me.
