“I was given the opportunity to master a new credential that would allow me to continue to be part of the company in a flexible-hour role as I undertake semi-retirement and leave the primary role I had for years”

Flowers and jewelry are typically reserved for romantic wooing, but at the Personnel Department they land on employees’ desks.

They also co-ordinate bowling and Guitar Hero nights at a local pub. Working for the Personnel Department could be likened to having a sugar daddy without the morning breath.
