What holidays and events do you celebrate at work
I work in a technology group at a university and we don't tend to celebrate holidays at all, but this year we all got together to watch Obama's inauguration. (While it's not really a holiday, it is a major historic event.)
Describe how you celebrate a particular event
We set up a screen in the conference room and connected it to a computer so we could watch the events online. Someone ordered pizzas and another person had brought champagne. It was all pretty casual, but it meant a lot for us to be able to watch the inauguration. We might not all celebrate the same holidays, but we could all share this moment in the country's history.
Tips and Tricks
- It was important for our group, in terms of bonding, but also important in building morale. The recession has affected our group directly, and the inauguration gave us something to celebrate in a bad time.
