They left and I feel....

Why is it that some employers can be so disingenuous when it comes to their people moving on to a new opportunity?  Can they not appreciate the fact that this person is obviously moving on to an opportunity that is in some way different and better then what they were able to offer, otherwise they would not be leaving.  Why is it that I hear time and again that it is OK that this person left, that they are better off or that they have to go.  If that is the case, why did they not get rid of that person before they resigned?  Why does the negativity come out only after that person resigns and leaves?  Does it not make the company look petty to say those things?  Is this done out of spite to try and damage this persons' reputation?  I think that this is distressing and think that the employer would be better served to be gracious and reasonable and wish the parting employee well in their future endeavors.  Bridges can be burned in both directions.

Send a Soldier a Holiday Message

Being a company that is Veteran owned, our very own CEO often wondered if people back home remembered those serving or even thought about them especially around the holidays. Did people know they were lonely, did they know they could use a "lift"? Did they know they were thinking about them? Well we don't want our soldiers to wonder that this year!  We are supporting XEROX with their Lets Say Thanks campaign.  XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING AMAZING for our Soldiers for FREE!  This "hook up" is a simple way of telling someone you don't know that you are thinking about them. It does not take long and trust us it will be greatly appreciated at this time of year.  Let them know you care.  Soldiers serve and they serve proudly! Send a card today, it is the least we can do for those who serve in the name of this great Nation.   Just go to www.LetsSayThanks.com and thank you for taking the time to support our military!

2010 Atlanta 3-Day for the Cure

Much love and support was given to our Administration Manager, Dana Morelly.  She took on the incredible challenge of walking 60 miles in the 2010 Susan G. Komen Atlanta 3 Day for the Cure against breast cancer.     Her journey began at Lake Lanier Islands where she traveled thru Buford & Sugar Hill on Day One.  Day Two took her and her teammates & thousands of other men and woman thru the streets of Downtown Duluth & Norcross area.  She began her final day of walking under beautiful skies & warm temps.  Making stops along the way at Oglethorpe campus, meeting many supporters cheer the walkers on down Peachtree Street with a quick bite for lunch at Georgia Tech campus.  Her 3Day adventure finally came to an end with Closing Ceremonies at Turner Field with her friends and family.
The Atlanta 3Day event raised more than $6.1 million dollars and the money we raised will help Susan G. Komen for the Cure® save lives against this dreadful disease.  We are proud of her and support her every step!  Bring on 2011!
