I work it a swanky office just off of the main lobby of a large Office building for one of the oldest companies in town (been in business 53 years - and still have employees here that started 53 years ago). Not only is the company OLD, 1/2 of the employees are past retirement age, the average age is 44 (approx. 1300 employees), and the image is OLD.
3 years ago several areas got a MAJOR upgrade (HR, the main lobby, the cafeteria...); big bucks were spent on reflooring the whole building and paint. The powers that be decided that our image needed to be refreshed and brought into the 21st century. I have to say that it looks amazing with finely decorated walls and tile, glass walls and greenery. HOWEVER ~ there seems to be a major place that got overlooked or either they ran out of paint...
THE RESTROOMS!
Seriously ~ the lobby restroom is closest to my office so I go there when I need to. I walk through this gorgeous lobby and am immediately transported back in time - into an 80's style high school bathroom. The walls are a depressed gray/beige, the floor tile is a tan/beige, the stalls are a gray/beige, the vanity is an old chunky wooden deal and there is a huge obnoxious-looking, truck-stop-looking Tampon dispenser hanging on the wall just as you walk in! Sometimes, if we are lucky, there is a cover on the paper towel dispenser.
Can you say Ghetto?
I shake my head and wonder what visitors think when they go in there. If it's anything like what I think then this company has done a piss-poor job of updating their image.
Welcome to my blog... my thoughts, my fears, my rants, my Life. Be aware that my blog will not be for the faint of heart or the weak - I will swear, I will rant, I will cry and I will laugh... Enjoy!
