Here’s a couple of things we’ve been up to in the office lately.
About a few months ago we came up with this program called “Pillars”. Where every “pillar” of the company ie the various departments inside the company are supposed to meet internally among themselves. They’re then supposed to look into all the things they have done in the past year of 2010 and then decide what is it that we can improve on. They then put everything into a presentation and then present it to the rest of the people in the office.
Today was the first day of the Pillars presentation. The Sales Pillar and the Ad Ops Pillar went first.
I loved the experience. It’s a chance for every Nuffie to have a say on what we could do better and contribute their ideas. It’s a chance for everyone to have a voice. It also really helped me learn more about our company from the grassroots up.
It was great.

We have a new Nuffie. Her name’s Michelle. It’s somehow tradition in Netccentric/Nuffnang/Nom Nom that every time we have someone new come in, we would play a prank on that someone. The prank on Michelle was that everyone managed to convince her that on her 2nd day of work, we were having a “school day” theme. So everyone was supposed to come in school uniform.
So the next day, Michelle came in a Japanese school uniform with stockings and all.
It’s true that the girls have themed days in the office sometimes though. Every Friday, they would all have a theme. Like sometime they would have a Maxi Dress theme or sometimes a “ribbon” theme where wears a ribbon somewhere on their outfit.
This Friday’s theme was “boyfriend’s shirt”. I didn’t manage to get a picture but Kim Ong who visited our office did.
Here’s a picture I took from her blog of some of the Nuffie girls wearing “Boyfriend shirts”.
She also visited our KL office on Friday. If you want to read her blog entry click here.
