Our CEO Tony Hsieh gets around - around the globe, that is - and there's no telling where he'll be next. Tony is so busy flying around, speaking at conferences and meeting with other cool companies that Twitter has a hard time keeping up with all of his @zappos updates, and honestly, Twitpics just don't give a visit to the White House any justice.
So, we decided that the only way to truly know where Tony is at any moment in time was to hook him up with a tracking device and to set up hidden cameras around his cubicle and implant a micro camera in his forehead.
However, due to the economy being down and the fear of being let go or having a restraining order placed against the Zappos Blog Team, we decided to do more with less and settled with just giving him a Flip camera to carry around with him everywhere he goes.
So, here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for (drum roll) Where's Tony!
Look deep into our eyes, and we will hypnotize you. (And by eyes, I mean our Real Time map of where purchases are being made, and by hypnotize, I mean not allow you to get anything else done because you're staring at this map)
Here is what happened in the Zappos.com offices when our CEO Tony Hsieh sent out the real time purchases map.
Yep, you heard right. The world famous Oscar Meyer Weinermobile visited Zappos.com's Henderson office today to the delight of everyone!!!
This story begins two days ago, when Zappos CEO, Tony Hseih, was the keynote speaker at the Word of Mouth Marketing Summit and Research Symposium here in Las Vegas. The Weinermobile was actually on display, and Tony decided to began his speech inside the Weinermobile, and emerged to everyone's surprise!
After the address, Tony arranged for the Weinermobile to make a stop at the Zappos offices on Friday, and everyone freaked out and had a great time! Below is a video of how it went down!
I really hated to title this latest HR / Training pulsating post as I did, (waaaay too many ABBA references his week for some reason), but what choice did I have??? Feast your ogling ojos on this:
That’s Zappos HR’s very own ninja prom queen, Heaven “Heavenless” T. showing us what she’s got. ‘nuff said.
Oh wait, that’s not true!! I also managed to score a pic of Jamstar’s recent glittering gift from one of her joie de vivre vendors:
Perhaps coming to a Zollar Store near you!! Sweeeeeet……
Some parting notes!
Jobs@zappos! Come getcha some!
Special thanks to p-1603, Zappos CEO, for letting me post Heaven’s performance here, instead of snatching it from my archives for his own sinister purposes, and waiting ever so patiently for me to get it out. Yer the best Tony. Love ya. Mean it.
Coming Soon!
-How HR’s Monthly Outing literally rocked! (promise this one’s coming really soon)
-An update from Training! (sorry, really needed to get Heaven’s routine up!)
-Zappos.com: Powered by Hope! (and another Dancing Queen!!)
-Random Rozzy Thoughts! (building anticipation…it’ll be worth it!)
-The Benches Are Here!!!!! (or, “Why We Love Rozzy and Rebecca L.!”)
-What’s all this about Twitter, then?!!
Until we meet again, “Yes! A brain transplant!...I don’t need it; take my brain!”
