A Special Memorial Day Muse
This week, I’d like to honor my grandfather—Archie Adkins. Archie was a Senior Chief Radio Operator in the United States Naval Reserve and also served in the United States Air Force as an instructor and supervisor in communications and air traffic control. I proudly display one of his Vibroplex morse code keys in my office as a reminder of his service to our country.
Family First, a Christmas Special
It’s a common refrain from both employers and employees: “My team is a family,” or “Come work for us, our company has a real family atmosphere.” While typically meant to convey a sense of warmth, belonging, and bonding, I believe the word “family” should exit our business vernacular and be reserved for reference to our core family units.
