Urk! Look, this post is the followup to the rather greasy situation on Friday. If you found that post disturbing or otherwise unpleasant, you really shouldn't view the video below. (However you might find this link tolerable) Yep, toward the end of the day, someone stepped up and drank a bacon fat shot.

Derek, you are the man! And thank you Angela for the lovely pep dance!

Okay I don’t pretend to understand everything that is going on in this video taken earlier this week. I just know that Chris Peake loves to dress up in funny outfits. Not sure how Jeanne got talked into doing this? Rumor is it was her idea.

Anyway, Chris and Jeanne organized the Zating Game for the Merchandising Assistant I (MA1) class. While the content, the roles and responsibilities of several Zappos departments - Help Desk, Marketing, and Development, could have been presented in a more standard corporate presentation format, isn’t this a bit more memorable? And a side benefit was that many people who are not in the MA1 class also got to see it and learn something. Hey, it’s the Zappos way! Here’s a link to the exciting conclusion!

The Safety and Risk Management team were recently in LV. Besides from enjoying the GORGEOUS weather, (it's still a bit chilly in KY!) we held trainings for members of the management team. The training gave insight into what OSHA is, steps to take when handling a work related incident, types of incidents, and of course, HOOPLA!!!

The class was composed of a wonderfully created slide show, some bogus incident forms and scenarios that involved role playing. The scenarios were a great way to get everyone involved. We had great performances by Fred Mossler, Galen Hardy, Jerry Tidmore, Pat Warren, Lakshan Fernando and Lisa Grossano. The crowd enjoyed the antics of the supposed injured individuals!

These training sessions were a "fun way" to pursue growth and learning". We want to make sure that everyone at Zappos is safe. It's all about the HOOPLA, baby!!
