What did you company do to recognize 9/11?

jeneisen · 09-11-2002, 12:14 PM

I was curious if anyones company did anything special for today? I work for Veridian and they put out an entire field of flags, plus a big banner on the building. We also took a moment of silence today at the time the building was hit. I think they did a great job.

My company had a ceremony of remembrance in the main office coference room at lunch time. I observed a moment of silence this morning at the time the first building was hit. I'm a little upset that the flag at my hangar is not flying half mast.

Ummm... the Times has their electronic billboard flashing with today's headlines, and I hear they are serving chicken in the cafeteria, and a lot of "un-necessary" employees have called in sick.

My company didn't do crap. I'm pretty pissed about it too. We're located in DC now but a year ago we were in Crystal City right between Regan National and the Pentagon. Everyone there that day saw what happened to the Pentagon and even though most of us weren't personally affected by it seeing it does something to you all the same. No moment of silence, no liberal leave to attend memorials, nothing. The property manager of our building brought up a little red, white and blue flower arrangement to sit at our reception desk and other companies in our building gave their employees american flags and patriotic stickers and such. I had gripes with my company before because they never seem concerned with their employees, just the good of the company. Now I'm even more disgusted with them.

We hung our flag, all worn red white & blule. And my lady boss susie made red, white & blue pasta salad for lunch. So.. that is what we did.

I work in the federal triangle, my company put a 5" X 8" flag on the door.

As I figured ours did nothing.I managed to take my break during that time and watch a piece of the news during the moment of silence.

All we got was an email from a VP of our company asking up to have a moment of silence at 12:00 noon. But there was nothing special done in our building.

If you have such personal convictions, why didn't you take personal time and do what you felt was necessary for you? Why does your company have to pay you for a day off or lead you in ceremony?

Here's what my gas station did.

Nothing.

And it's good too. You see, I'm just as patriotic as the next person. But, think about it. Where I work, there's no TV and no radio.

Life goes on, everyone. It's that simple..

I responded to a 9/11 post earlier *about 1/2 an hour after this one, I'm with an online gaming team for a video game called Half Life.

Here's the link(s) on how I really felt. My post name is CRUNCH_Boogieman.
