Feature Article of the Week:
Have You Seen My Boss?
I work for a huge organization and have never met the guy in charge. Rumor has it, that there might not be one single person in charge, but a committee of talented and caring individuals. Great, I don’t even know for sure who I’m ultimately working for.
I have heard it said that I am not alone. Apparently there’s an enormous amount
of staff all doing various assignments, some in management, some in communications,
some in marketing and advertising, some in product development, and quite a few new
recruits who really have no idea what they are going to be doing. I work alone in
my little cubical without much interaction with my coworkers. I am not really sure
why that is, but from what I am told, my work is done best without the distraction
of others. Oh well, I think I would like to have coworkers around to distract me,
but what do I know? I know I have gone through extensive training and I am getting
pretty good at my job. I am starting to feel comfortable here. I like my work.
From what I have read in the company newsletters, memos, and emails, other people
are being trained together in groups, and quite a few are cross-
A lot of us have children and we are encouraged to bring them to work with us. My three seem to dart in and out of my work area on a regular basis. They show up a lot in my work. Sometimes they help me and other times they would rather just play at being kids. Since my boss does not seem to mind if they are here or not, I just sort of let them come and go in and out of my work as much as they like. I wonder if they will end up working here too. I really want for them to love their jobs like I do, and I encourage them to be whatever they want when they grow up. However, if I were completely honest, I would love it if they would follow in my footsteps and come do this with me.
I have also noticed that the company really supports coworkers dating each other and will usually set up husband and wife teams to work together on projects. I think that is really cool. I look forward to some day working side by side with a partner. I have not really dated anyone from this company yet. I think that most of my coworkers seem pretty nice and it might be the one place where it is safe to date your coworkers, but I am just not sure yet.
The schedule is really great. I get to make my own hours especially because of working around my kids’ schedule. My boss is very understanding of the fact that we are all parents, sisters, brothers, sons, and daughters. It is the most family friendly company I have ever worked for. We are all allowed flextime, job sharing, and as much parental leave as you could ever dream of. It is not that we do not have deadlines and really important timetables, it is just that there is always someone else who can pick up and run with your project if you need to stop and focus on something else for a bit. When you come back to work, you may be reassigned to another project if you have been gone too long and the original project was in jeopardy of not being completed on time, but nobody gets mad at you for it and everyone seems really happy to pitch in wherever needed. You can work as much or as little as you like and you are free to work from home too.
You are called into meetings but everyone is pretty straight up and they let you argue the point if you do not like the assignment handed out to you. The management will explain their reasoning for just about everything. The only thing I cannot get them to tell me is who is the big boss in charge of this whole operation. While in the meetings, they really make you feel like you are a valuable member of the company. I always come away from the meetings feeling really inspired and ready to take on the world! I usually forget all about trying to figure out who the boss is because I feel so good about working for such a great organization.
The pay scale is nothing like anywhere else I have ever worked. They say that we can pick our own salary just so long as we really believe that we are worthy of it. Apparently, if you try to bluff and say you’re worth more than you really think you are, then they find out and reduce your pay check to match what you secretly think is your value. I am not always sure how they do that part, but it does seem to work. There have been times when I have told myself I was worth more and then did not get the raise in pay. Later upon retrospect, I realized that they were right and I was just saying that to try to convince myself. They do however guarantee you a minimum wage that is enough to cover all of your basic needs. You never go hungry and if you want a roof over your head, then one will be provided. Compensation is really up to you after the basics are met. You determine how much work you are going to do for them, how much it is worth, and the value you put on it is the amount you will collect.
I must confess that I do not even know the name of the company I work for. I have
heard us called Lightworkers, Hippies, Christians, Buddhists, New Age, Pagans, Mind-
