When Was the Last Time You Heard a Good Story?

By Tim Geisert, Kenexa 

Once upon a time in a land far, far away, an employee culture existed that was worthy of its reputation… Back when I was young (and had hair), I had the distinct pleasure of working for what I thought was one of the best companies in the United States. I was initially attracted to the organization because of the positive stories I had heard. For instance, during an interview, the founder of the organization was asked, “what is it like to work in your company?” As a person with a dry sense of humor, he simply smiled and answered, well, I hear it’s not so bad; it’s always warm in the winter, cool in the summer.”
