#employeeevents

Wow! This year’s employee appreciation week is an absolute joke. An article that links to a viva engage post with no engagement. A cr-ppy ecard from the CEO. Way to phone it in and check the box. That’s an HR fail.

Happy hour to celebrate?

Are the recipes from this week’s anniversary recognition events available? I want to make a batch of cookies for family this weekend.

Team,

I’m excited to share an update on this year’s President’s Club recognition.

President’s Club celebrates the teammates who delivered the strongest revenue-impacting results across Optimum in 2025. These individuals represent the very best of our performance culture and embody what it means to deliver for our customers and our business.

As previously announced, and in support of aligning our resources with our enterprise priorities, we will not be hosting a President’s Club trip this year. That said, we want to ensure these achievements are celebrated in a meaningful way. For 2025, President’s Club winners will receive:

A monetary award
A commemorative President’s Club trophy
A President’s Club jacket

Winners will be notified tomorrow, and we look forward to recognizing their accomplishments.

While President’s Club highlights our top performers, our progress as a company is driven by the collective work happening across the organization every day. Supporting customers, solving problems, strengthening relationships, and driving results all contribute to our momentum as ONE Optimum.

Thank you for everything you do and for the commitment you bring to our customers and teams every day.

Colleen

Is information available for any type of employee reunion events planned later in the hear? Is there a planning committee?

How about this employee appreciation email?!? She is thankful for her job now go appreciate each other.

The last couple of years we’ve had a day off in recognition of Employee Appreciation (3/6).
I take it this isn’t happening in 2026?

Wow!!! It has been 10 years since commitment runs deep day. Oh how the time flies. I would like to wish all the Coterra people a happy welcome to a wonderful company. Many you enjoy your time at the new and improved Devon and may the odds be ever in your favor.

always a cheerful moment - meanwhile Chas is speaking only a short distance away.

I've heard rumbling that the superhero event will be canceled this year. I have to say I have mixed feelings about it. While , it's great for those who are recognized, I'm sure it cost millions of dollars to throw a party for the few hundred people who get to go. Could jobs be saved instead?

Will tomorrow's webcast be some type of announcement, or just the usual All Hands kickoff for the year?

Has anyone joined the BOA social program?

Post below.

Did everyone get their Jelly of the Month Club membership? - CH

Enjoy your Holidays !

I hope we get to go home at 2:00 on Christmas Eve this year like in years past.

I see an email for a special bonus of 3 to 4 weeks pay. Who got it? Did you get 3 or 4 weeks bonus pay?

Just out curiosity how many locations where treated to a holiday party?? As mine didn’t have one yet? Savings or just more deterrents to not stick around!!??

Good luck in the future to all new alumni.

Well, another Edward Jones long standing tradition has met it's end.

Regional award ceremonies will now be conducted during a week day morning instead of a nice ceremony where you can bring a spouse.

Maybe its too expensive now for the little people to be honored? Wonder if TAP trips are next?

Most of the leadership was there, but he was conveniently absent

... let's hear this Season's "airing of grievances"

Will Belk corporate throw their lavish holiday party again? While stores can’t budget for basic supplies, much needed maintenance and more than one or two fitting rooms open?

From those who attended please share your thoughts

Does anyone know if Staples locations (not retail) will be open the day after Thanksgiving. We have not heard and they usually wait till 2-3 weeks before they tell us.

It was a simpler time.
I was just sitting here wondering if that actually happened.
And wondering if it will happen again.
I joined in, added “I didn’t even know we had a reply all button” to the melee.
It was a career highlight for me.

hope everyone enjoyed that party. there won't be money for those types of things in the future #fiservproud

Remember how much fun it was to watch overpaid executives dance and lip sync to modern pop songs? We need some of that again! Throw in a couple of pizza parties and the diSAPpointment will turn around. As Rob B once said, “our steak is delicious, but it needs more sizzle”

Can someone tell me why there is no Friends and Family posted on the fall extra discount days. Many of the retirees look forward to it each fall.

What a total bore fest…

What the heck were these people even saying?????

are there any holiday parties in the US locations this year end?

They don’t care about us at the Support Office. Everything is so Field-focused now and if they want that, then they can run the show at Corporate themselves. I’d love to see what happens if everyone just mass quits, ha!

Loved the comment section for this call today. Employees were really laying out some of the craziness they've been dealing with since RTO started. A doctor (of something, didn't say what) discussing company culture and dealing with RTO. A little digging shows this doctor is actually an AT&T employee (figures the company wouldn't risk an outsider leading this discussing given the polarization). Her answers to the employee questions were less than satisfactory, typical corporate speak and "showing up for each other".
