Best memory was a company that cared even if it was on a small level. During the most recent market downturn when executive management said they would all take a small pay cut in order to save the jobs of many. They all had to vacation in the states that year instead of Europe, but they had the integrity to put the people first that they knew deep down provided their European vacations.

I miss it all. Dick Kellerman in the Hot Dog Lady suit at Halloween. Shawn Tabor as the cat in the hat. The Stalk Market. The Large Christmas train of canned goods given to Charity. The fall festival. What do I really miss!

ENJOYING COMING TO WORK, LEARNING AND WORKING WITH GREAT PEOPLE. People are now back stabbers because they are too busy watching their backs.

BAS did a "BASCAR" race one year..way back in like 2004-2006 or something like that. I still have pictures of Tim Eitel running in circles around the cubes. Almost everyone in that photo is gone now.

It was great for morale. Hey Vin - you listenin' buddy? Let's see you run around cubes to make your people laugh a bit and relax. Maybe Bella will join in on the fun.

Tom is a bad memory now. He was a really great people person, but now he has started to put money before the people. The unhappiness, the turnover, the lack of best places to work listings,... is the byproduct of that attitude change.
