Today, although an incredibly challenging day, was an inspiring day. Today my department dealt with the complete relocation of our office. Each of us, individually, dealt with the loss of our “things” from the simplest of things like our tape dispensers or notepads to our personal belongings lost to fire damage.
We, as a team, went back into our devastated office. We removed what we could and left the rest behind for the company coming in to clean up what they could and destroy the rest. It was an eerie feeling being in the office without electricity, with the windows boarded up, flashlights, and smartphone apps guiding our way.
It was amazing at how quickly the team settled into our new, very close office environment. Truly we are a tight team before, now, it will be a test of that closeness. .
Beyond the “micro-teamwork”, there was an entire contingent of the “macro-team” where the store managers, warehouse staff, IT, admin staff and everyone in between assisted us. It took 3 hours yesterday and a couple this morning to get us up and running. AMAZING considering the trauma department had just undergone.
Bottom line, we have the best team anyone could ever ask for. Today’s moment is dedicated to those amazing team members who made my team’s lives that much easier today. Those who brought a smile, or a handful of pens.
Moments of pride for the team supporting us.
Moments having your beliefs of people being good and kind being reaffirmed.
