We have a large lobby. Think ballroom with 2-story high ceilings. Very nicely, completely and traditionally decorated. I love my bank! smile

That's because you work for a company, not a bank.

You haven't seen some of the awful acting children we have around here.


Has me wondering what happened to the teller who would eat white out.... If you remember that, you have been here for a LONG time....


Guilty (of remembering the "The PICA-eating teller" thread, not being that teller)

Our tree is very traditional at the Main Office. Our company color is "green" so allthe ornaments are green, white or gold with white lights and gold beaded garland and ribbon.It is a pretty tree but we aren't winning any decorating contest with it. The one thing that I do honestly HATE about it is the stupid angel on the top if the tree. I think she is supposed to be signing so her mouth is open into an O shape. However the tree nearly touches the ceiling and they wedge the poor angel between the top of the tree & the ceiling - She is always sligtly pitched forward and "O-ing" .... it always strikes me as somehow inappropriate

They have not tried that on us. Prolly wont. Family owned bank and the owner is a devout Christian. We say Merry Christmas to everyone. His concept is if you dont like, bank somewhere else. smile

grinYay for your owner - there needs to be more like that.

Our ownership is pretty much of that mindset as well. Outgoing CEO and incoming CEO are very vocal about their religious beliefs to the point that the incoming CEO openly thanked the outgoing CEO for the profound effect he's had on his Christian life over the years.

Good environment.

HR/Admin decorates the lobby tree every year.
Employees decorate their dept/desks as they desire.
We used to have an internal decorating contest based on a theme. It was fun! Probably got cut off because it took up too much employee time tho.
Dept head bought three poinsettias last Christmas (4.99 @ Shopko) that I have kept red and growing for a whole year now. We had fun decorating them for Easter and Halloween, etc.
Don't think we'll bother decorating much this year. Too busy.

Oh, and dip, I kinda like your funky pink tree. I think they're trying to convey a Nutcracker theme with the oversized cakes, etc. If you've ever seen The Nutcracker, it kinda fits.

My thought was that perhaps she felt she was falling and was therefore shouting "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

I cannot vouch for Dip's mindset.

^^^^^^^Grinch.....

You solve that problem with a couple of six packs (or boxes of wine depending on the level of sophistication) and a couple of pizzas - all the sudden everyone is freaking Martha Stewartâ„¢. My branch had the "I've been decorated by drunken elves" theme going on.... smile


Sounds like the same solution used to solve moving furniture, painting (save the beer for after you're done, trust me), etc.! smile

You cheated and saw my FB post? Apparently, it IS for breast cancer awareness, btu totally FAILED. Wrong month and the tree, aside from being pink, has ntohign to do with breast cancer.

They SHOULD have done a normal tree decorated in pink, silver, and red with pink ribbons tied on it. then had a table to the side with pernmanent marker and pink robbons so you can write the name of someone you knwo with breast cnacer or survivor and tie them on the tree. I mean, woudln't THAT make more sense???

umm, no, i'm a man and used common sense. Maybe you can volunteer to put up and decorate the tree in future years since this is causing you so much stress. How can I tell you're stressed? Cause every word you typed has no transpositions!!!!!

grin eek
