See, now I can’t stop thinking about org culture
Two new employees started this week and it’s quite an indoctrination into our culture as this week has been all about eating and community building. We’re off for the winter break now and traditionally our last week is filled with holiday celebrations and a definite winding down of work which means there’s a lot of wandering the hallways and stopping to talk to people (usually while munching on something chocolate).
When I came across this blog entry, it really spoke to me about the power of eating together. It’s interesting to me how social bonds are made or broken over something as simple as a sandwich among co-workers.
