I have been with my current employers 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 say that it did take a bit of getting used to when you have youngsters who are more than half your age explaining your work to you. However, it is just something you have to take in your stride and grin and bear it. 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. I think if they actually knew some of the things I got upto when I was their age, they would view me in a different light and probably be quite impressed by some of the things I got up to!!
The company I work for are very good to us and they really go out of their way to look after the staff.
We have a couple of computer consoles in our offices and usually at lunch time the lads participate in their daily Playstation or Xbox challenge and the office becomes a very riotous place, but it is all played in good spirit. We also have a pool table that is very well used by them all.
We have a super staff incentive scheme set up. This was set up for all members of staff who not only do a great job, but go a little further than they have to.
It’s a great scheme and members of staff can be nominated by their colleagues and then rewarded. So far I have managed to bag a great bottle of Spanish Wine and a fantastic bottle of French Wine.
Other rewards that staff have had are beauty products, gift vouchers, boxes of chocolates and so on.
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 must go now, off to make tea for all the gang, earn myself a few brownie points.
