Last week, we celebrated at the office.
The celebration honored the heroes that founded or played a crucial position in the success of the air conditioning business. The company has a small library filled with training manuals that the cooling techs created. There are also pictures of the founders, and multiple other cooling workmen, together with any award won by the company since it was founded; As the country was commemorating the heroes who fought for the land, we also celebrated the air conditioning experts behind the success of the company. There were a few speeches that afternoon, including a single from the senior A/C professional who talked about the team he had lost a couple of years back during a hurricane. The team had been called out for an air conditioning repair job, however when they got there, the state of the Heating, Ventilation plus A/C equipment was deplorable and needed replacing. They did the air conditioning install of the up-to-date central air conditioning unit. When they illustrated how to upgrade the air filters to the customer, they heard the warning siren of an impending hurricane. They left the shopper a booklet showing the bi-annual air conditioning tune-up schedule and contacts for any future air conditioning repair, then left immediately. They, however, encountered a puncture that delayed their return to the office. They got caught up in the hurricane, and the cooling products in the van were strewn all over the road. The professionals were disfigured, and some eventually lost their lives. Both of us all had a moment of silence and later celebrated their life and impact on us. They were an integral section of the company’s success, which now dealt with quality a/cs and indoor air cleaning systems.
