The Conference Call- Part 1

Field employees participate in lots and lots of conference calls. For one thing, we are just that: FIELD employees. People who do 99% of their job out visiting clients, or in an office they've scrabbled together in their home, vs. being the home office, or HQ. (My plushy office consists of a u-shaped Ikea desk set up in what we affectionately call the "bonus room". It is actually a huge room filled with an enourmous assortment of brightly colored plastic toys, a suspicious looking handed down "hideaway bed" couch, and the Wii.)

Lots of them.

Values and Behaviors. NOT bounty hunters.
