Posted on in First to Help Others
(J.M. – Indiana, USA) – The Company Cube asked me to roll it today, and it told me: ‘FIRST To Help Others!’ It was a busy day with many things to do. One of our young scientists was having trouble with a spreadsheet that was not giving correct predictions. Instead of thinking “I’ll help her later.” I decided to go right away and review printouts from the analysis. After some time working together, we were able to find the ‘first’ error, which she was able to fix quickly. Now, instead of being stuck, we are on our way to solving the entire problem. Thanks Cube for the reminder that, sometimes, its just best to roll up your sleeves and dive in!
Posted on in Competitors Can Be Friends Too
(J.M. – Indiana, USA) – Today I was in a meeting with one of our competitors. I had been invited to attend a meeting to try to support a common client. During the meeting, I was able to work with them towards a common goal. After the meeting, we shared a beer with the client. This side of The Company Cube can be true, if you just let it happen!
Posted on in First to Help Others
(J.J. – Indiana, USA) – I rolled the cube and got ‘First to Help.’ I was expecting some information to come in that day and then I would need to format it. It was getting late and I still hadn’t received the information. I emailed the person to say that I wouldn’t be able to finish the project tonight, so maybe he would need to do it himself.
As, I was getting ready to leave I remembered the cube, be the first to help others. I decided that if he sent the information I would complete the task, even if the deadline had passed.
I went to collect my belongings and when I came back, I had received the information already formatted. It had been taking longer because he had decided to help me out ahead of time! He asked for help with another task, so I took some extra time that evening to help him with his next project.
Posted on in Value Every Person, Every Idea
(J.M. – Indiana, USA) – I went to the website today to roll the cube. It read: VALUE Every Person, Every Idea! We celebrated one of our employee’s birthday today with a little gathering of fresh fruit and snacks. It was great to find out ‘the story’ of his birth, what was happening 28 years ago on his birthday, what was the No. 1 song in America on that day, and to get to know him better. Thanks Cube!
