Last night the B shift photo department had a going away party for our beloved Jeremy I. and Travis A.

Luckily, Zappos is not losing these fine boys completely, but our shift will have some big shoes to fill now.

Jeremy has been working at with us in the photo department for around 11 months. He has been an asset to the apparel department during his 9 months on B-shift Photo. Next week he is transferring to A-shift Photo!


Travis, has been working at Zappos for almost a year. He has been working as a very helpful photo assistant in the apparel studio for the past 3 months on B-shift Photo. He will be venturing back out to the FC as a C-shift Receiving team member.

One of our apparel photographers, Abby, had an opportunity to ask them a few questions during the party:


Q: What are you going to miss the most about B-shift photo?

Jeremy: I am going to miss pranking A-shift with the annoy-a-tron. Since I will be on A-shift, I won't be able to play pranks on them with the annoy-a-tron, but I will miss working with the B-shift crew, and 11 o'clock trivia!

Travis: I will miss everyone's sense of humor and inside jokes with random people!


Q: Are you excited about your new position?

Jeremy: I'm nervous about waking up so early, but excited to have my nights free!

Travis: Yes! It presents me with new opportunities to better myself.


Q: Tell me a memory from working in B-shift photo.

Jeremy: Winning the annual photo Beard Off! (After 12 weeks Jeremy won the beard off and donated his winnings to Dreams with Wings.)

Travis: The going away party with great food, especially the awesome queso and dirty rice!


Q: Do you have any parting words of advice as you venture onto your life outside of B-shift photo?


Jeremy: In the words of our old pal Joe C. "Liquor before beer never fear. Beer before liquor never sicker."

Travis: Make sure when you are in the LS, (the apparel studio) everything is straight, steamed, and ironed or there will be heck to pay, HECK I TELL YOU!!

Core Value #7: Build a Positive Team and Family Spirit
And thats one thing these sisters do best. Not only does Katie and Sarah work for the same awesome company they work in the same crazy department! When they arent jumping around or hanging out with random statues, you can find them working hard in our Finance Dept. I was lucky enough to catch up with them and ask them a few random questions!

What was your favorite childhood show/book?

Sarah: Popples or the Care Bears! We owned everything they made!


Katie: My Little Pony forever and ever!

What do you like about working at Zappos?


Sarah: I like how friendly everyone is. It makes the day go by fast and makes me in a good mood. Also the food! I was addicted to the Peanut Butter granola bits for the longest time. Now that they are gone I have moved onto peanut butter cups. How healthy is that for health month!

Katie: Zappos takes care of its employees and treats us with respect…it’s really amazing. I used to work at a hotel and my egotistical boss used to send me to fetch him coffee(not in my job description)…very demeaning and he seemed proud of the fact that he could make you feel that way. So glad that I found Zappos!

</<br />If we were to press play on your ipod/cd player what would we hear?


Sarah: Tegan and Sara. My ipod is new so I haven’t had time to get more on!


Katie: Possibly bagpipe music

What was your craziest call taken during CLT Training?

Sarah: I haven’t been through CLT yet, but im sure ill get some crazies!

Katie: This lady kept me on the phone for about 45 minutes talking about how her husband used to beat her. It was really sad, but I think she just needed someone to talk to.

_What do you think you would be doing if you didn’t work__at Zappos?_


Sarah: I would probably be sitting at home wishing I was working here!


Katie: Poisoning my old boss’s coffee.
