Tomorrow is the close of our Fiscal Year. I know, this is the news you’ve been waiting for. I love how every year all those little things you didn’t get around to come crashing down upon you only to find that you can’t enter any of it in the appropriate database, system, or process because every single person in the company is doing the same thing and the system is bogged down. Fun ahead, I’m sure.
I work at a very creative and innovative company and found out today they are creating a series of videos to “sell” working for our firm to edgy, creative, smart professionals. My particular office is always 100% on board with any idea tossed out there as you can see below:
The Request:
YOU CAN!
Mission: Make a series of viral videos about your office, or any office in the network in general
Target: Young, skilled, edgy professionals, people like you, but at other companies
Objective: Spread good vibes in the business about us, showing what a helluva place we´re working at. We will do as many as possible on video and distribute on the net.
Response 1: My mission below is to make a series of viral videos about our office....I am thinking I will start in the elevator, move to the ladies room that does not have the capabilities to fit toilet paper and seat covers appropriately, then onto the middle office where the sink sits, then show someone working in our conference room/kitchen/office supply/storage room in the chair with one arm and no back, and then maybe move toward the fire hazard (I mean newspaper storage room). Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions.
P.S. I will be sure to include a segment that highlights those with the fans in their "offices" who are sweating (giving new meaning to sweatshop) and the boss and me freezing :) in our little wing.
Response 2: Let’s also get a shot of the bum who rolls joints while sitting next to our newspapers in the morning.
Response 3: You'll also need to include a segment where someone 'gets lost' thru one of the 7 doors in your office....
Response 4: How about shooting us walking from the parking lot, doing our daily check to see if the guy sleeping in the bushes is still alive?
Response 5: Will alcohol be involved in the making of this film? If so, count me in—but it better be Top Shelf.
Response 6: Only if we wait until the next time someone is stuck in the 100 degree heat in the elevator for an hour and we can capture the expression on film when they finally get out.
I don’t know, it’s probably me, but I’m thinking we might not be what they are looking for as goodwill ambassadors for the company.
A thousand cups of wine do not suffice when true friends meet, but half a sentence is too much when there is no meeting of minds.
