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.

i'm in telesales and we haven't had anything here. they mostly just take things away from us, they don't give us anything extra.

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. đ
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?
...
I am in the Fayetteville Call Center and we had a 50M celebration about a week and a half ago.
...
I wonder if that 50 mil customer recieved anything special? Besides a Free V220 like the 40 mil customer recieved.

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.

...
I wonder what they are going to do for the 50 millionth person hired?
...
ZZ Top?!? Cingular's footing the bill for a white trash party? I so gotta be there!
...
Is that like the TYCO C.E.O. having that greek goddess party for his birthday?
...
I did not get anything other than a Congrats card! đĄ
...
Party? pfffttt, make some policies that make sense.
...
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.
