my manager wants to appoint me as the "morale rep" for her department. oh great! she thinks that our department still has a morale issue and she wants me to ask around at work and come up with ideas to boost morale. so umm, any ideas what a bunch of engineers would think is fun?? it might be cool to do some team building exercises or something, but i don't really have any clue where to look into that sort of thing. does having free breakfast every week boost morale?? i guess i would always look forward to it. like bagel wednesdays or something. but i like free food, i don't think everyone is as motivated by free food are they??
see, the problem is i can think of a BUNCH of ideas that would boost morale, but it would require the company spending money. it's not coming out of my pocket, that's for sure! but the company is trying to cut expenses...so there's the rub... i mean heck, if the company supplied free drinks, free snacks/candy, bagel wednesdays, free lunch every month, we would all be happy campers! unfortunately, all we get is free coffee from a machine and 25 cent soda, yippee. i can't really think of something that doesn't cost anything that would boost morale as quickly as free stuff!!
