    One note I'll add, at the one company where we did this every month, it was self funded. The company didn't really contribute, and it...

  • RE: Byte Me: Model Employee

    As well, I don't think you recognized that the geeky looking stereotype of a computer person that generally started back in the early 1980s as a way of making fun...

  • RE: Byte Me: Model Employee

    xyoung (8/7/2015)


    Another question - why do a few people get so upset and defensive on the subject of sexism? Do they feel as though they are being made responsible? Or...

  • RE: Teambuilding

    Where I am now, not a lot of team building. We do birthday lunches and what not.

  • RE: Byte Me: Model Employee

    It's just that you don't seem to have a grasp that a male can or has gone...
