The Halloween candy is thinning out, long gone are the Reese’s and Snickers, only the Mike ‘n Ikes and rock hard Tootsie Rolls remain.  It’s now time to turn our attention to the fancy December holidays like Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.  What? I forgot Thanksgiving, yeah well apparently so did the rest of country.  Everywhere I turn colored lights are going up and trees are being decorated, but it seems that Thanksgiving only serves as a reminder that we need to start hitting the stores.  

While turkey day may be the amuse-bouche of the holiday season, it deserves some attention.  As you start to devour a plate of food that could feed a small third world country village for a month, take a moment to look around and appreciate the greatest aspect of the Thanksgiving holiday…the rare four-day weekend!  That’s right, after the big meal, you still have 3 more days to fight the crowds at the mall and argue with your relatives. 

Annoying relatives and rage-inducing crowds aside, Thanksgiving is a time to gather, a time to meet, a time to reconnect, a time to use your Genesys Meeting Center account, (like how I snuck that segue way in there) Genesys is truly a global company, and in my department we have employees from Poland, Argentina, Sweden, UK, and Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, (I’ll give yinz one guess who’s from PA.)  While our holiday travels take us around the world, we can still keep in touch and collaborate on projects with just a few clicks. 

Whether you use it to catch up on business, or to contact distant relatives, your Genesys Meeting Center account is always available to you anytime from anywhere. So pass the Swedish meatballs, Polish sausage, bangers and mash, Argentinean beef and enjoy the long weekend.  Bon Appétit!

Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at Genesys!
