Storage Nation

Was a fun week last week – we’re onboarding so many fantastic people so fast, we’ve needed to develop a custom onboarding process.  Not enough time to do blog posts   Keith Coughlin, the vSpecialist leader for the Americas call is it the “Emersion” program.  The use of “Emersion” as opposed to “Immersion” is intentional As people are coming from all sorts of backgrounds, we are trying to cram them full of stuff and build a sense of camraderie.

Happy day for EMC unified customers.   A whole bunch of new integration, additional cost savings – all for existing and new EMC customers.   Oh, and it’s all free Here’s the PR , but in usual fashion, I tend to like the nerd version. Read on for more! So – without further ado, what’s new and GA?

So – we do an annual company-wide survey of the employees, and it gets rolled up by manager, functional group, and the whole company.  We get a report with good/bad/ugly, that we then talk about with the team. For the folks on my team – I just love you all – this “highest performing items” report is one of my proudest moments at EMC.  The scale is on 1-5, and the 100% means that 100% of my team answered with the highest score against each of the questions. Now, of course, there’s another sheet with “areas for improvement” – which come down to how hard they are all working and the constant need for more resources.   I commit to redouble on both counts team, and again – thank you for your huge 2009 efforts!
