HomeGain at the A’s Game: Short lived mental escape from the 9-5
June 16, 2009
In the modern day workplace where long, grueling hours are the norm, it’s important to remind the forces that their humanity is valued; to give the soldier battling on the front lines a repreieve to remind them that they are more than just online marketing machines. What better way to encourage morale than to take the entire company to enjoy America’s favorite pastime!
It worked too. For a few serene innings I forgot that I had quotas waiting for me back at the office. I left all the emails, phone calls, and reports behind me at the stadium entrance. I was just an A’s fan at that moment enjoying the strike outs, double plays, line drives, until all of this came to a crashing halt in a very “jumbo way”! To my utter horror, I found my best friend who happens to be a co-worker of mine at HomeGain selling himself out on the jumbo-tron, parading our company’s one liner “we connect consumers with real estate professionals!” during an inning switch over… So much for my mental escape.
