town hall at work

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2023.05.11

I went to the office despite being quite sick yesterday. The reason was an important town hall and social event we were putting on. A "post COVID" situation with forty staff in the office for the first time in the three years I've worked at this shop.

It tuned out there was a secret item on the agenda tonight. My two most senior managers pulled out a bass and a guitar and laid down a jazz track or two, accompanied by a previous recording of the two of them plus the guy who was managing the sound - who was on trombone.

It's funny how people can surprise you.
