Adding HDTV To The Work Force

May 11, 2008 / by antdb4

As a manager of a major firm, I realize the need to keep moral up.  I know my employees will be more productive if they stay happy.  This is why I am always taking suggestions for improvements in the office.  I have to admit that I can't take all the suggestions and make them happen.  Nonetheless, I do everything in my power to negotiate or find ways to make a situation better.  Lately, one of the largest complaints has been with our break area.  Right now, we have a small area with a refrigerator, stove, a sink and many tables and chairs.  We also have a small television for the employees to view during lunch.  The employees have been complaining about the microwave and icebox that are old and do not operate very well.  Apparently, many of the employee's lunches has gone bad due to the icebox's temperature control being off.  I called the finance department and asked what we could do about this condition.  They informed me we did have some funds in the business budget to provide me to buy a few things for the break area.  I started to search around Sears and Circuit City for a new icebox and microwave.  I ended up going to my local appliance store for the microwave because I knew I could get the best deal.  Then I went to Sears for the new icebox.  I received such a great deal on both items that I had a lot of money left over.  Before I left Sears, I browsed the HDTV section.  I was astonished at how low the prices were for the smaller HDTVs available.  I immediately thought how much my employees would love to have an HDTV as part of their break area.  However, then I remembered you needed a cable or satellite company to provide you with the service for the high quality channels.  I was talking to the sales person and he educated me that I could buy an antenna that would give me the channels I was wondering about without a monthly cost.  I went home, checked into the antenna, and found out it also didn't cost much to acquire.  I found an antenna for indoor use, which would be perfect for our building.  I bought the antenna and then went to Sears to buy the HDTV.  I could hardly wait for my employees to see the remodeling job in the break area.  As soon as everything arrived, I asked the delivery guys to arrive after hours so no one would see it.  After they put everything in the break room, the HDTV was perfect in making the room complete.  When my employees came in the next day, they just about fell over when they saw the remodeling job.  My employees are happy and so much more committed to their jobs now... so I am a very gratified!
