Today we had a company lunch, which is always a slightly awkward affair. Since the company is on two floors there is a kind of disconnect between the marketing, sales, and development people up stairs and the customer service/technical support people down stairs. I know only a couple of people from up stairs, yet I really know the people in my office the best and like hanging with them. So its awkward when, as a temp you know no one and they don't really know you. But hey free food and eating too much are always good things.
The funny thing is, that at my last job there was a better sense of family. You really knew everyone in the company, even if the office people were separate from the Manufacturing people. When we got together for something we all talked together, we all got along. And I think it was a better company because they hired 'nice' people, had a good product, and good ethics. Its amazing how much ethics can change how I feel about working some where. And until my life in Philly, I never really worried about my personal ethics or the ethics of what I work on. Guess I need to pay closer attention to all of that.
