50M Party

DrDialtone

So, I am hearing that some centers had some sort of celibration over breaking 50. On the other hand, I've heard that Cingular has zeroed the "party" budget in centers that have marked to cut. Guess what, MY center has zero budget! So my question is, have there been ANY celibrations or at least new wall-art in any centers? Or was this party limited to sales and other related departments? It's just nice to know where care stands in the eyes of the company.

ON Friday, I spoke with a rep out of the Lubbock, Tx call center and Mr. Stan CEO made an appearance that morning. He is from West Texas, so his visit makes sense. I wonder if that could be considered at party?

I heard that Ed Whitacre and Stan Sigman are going to have ZZ-Top Play a private party at the Whitacre Ranch on Cingular's tab. 🙄

Did they ever bring free coffee back to the call centers or are they still trying to save a couple of million a year while everyone buys crap from a vending machine?

Free V220? Geez, I'd give them free service for life with all services, i.e. Landline, DSL, wireless, and anything else the parent companies provide for being lucky enough to become the 50th million customer. Like winning a mini lottery in a sense.

I agree. You should be entitled to the perks that you mentioned. It almost like obtaining celebrity status.

What's the matter? You don't approve of employee appreciation parties?

I threw a little shin-dig every quarter for my employees at my old company and will do so when I have more people at my company now.

Employees are the lifeblood of your organization. No reason not to give them a bit of incentive to appreciate their job.
