I have to give a SHOUT OUT to my work family!
I work for a small, family owned company in Cannon Falls, MN called Gemini. We manufacture corporate signage, plaques & memorials. I’ve been with Gemini going on 10 years now, working as a 3D Sculptor. My job is pretty freaking awesome. I get to create custom sculpts and draw portraits all day, which is pretty much the ideal job for an art freak like me. The only thing that would be better is self-employment, but as far as day jobs go, Gemini is about perfect. I am forever grateful for their top-notch medical coverage. I have zero medical debt thanks to the medical insurance I have through Gemini. Management is fair and accommodating, always giving me the flexibility to attend my appointments without any hassle. And, my colleagues are some of the best folks I’ve ever worked alongside! Gemini truly takes care of their people, and we all look out for each other.
During my medical leave, I’d receive regular texts from my Supervisor and a handful of coworkers, checking on me, and giving me office drama updates. About half way through my medical leave, my Supervisor texted, letting me know that the team was planning to pool money together to treat Brian & I to dinner from whichever restaurant we please, and a bottle/case of whatever we pleased from the liquor store…and that he’d personally deliver. How cool is that! So, we worked out the details, and I ordered up the cheapest items on the menu as to not set my coworker back too much. My Supervisor said: “Are you sure about that? You can order anything you want. Don’t worry about the cost.” But, I insisted on not taking advantage of their generosity. Well, this is where it gets interesting! My supervisor shows up to the house, special delivery in hand. Not only does he have our food & booze order, but he also has two gift certificates to two of our favorite restaurants totaling over $100, an envelope full of cash, and a kick ass card signed by everyone in my department! Apparently, the team pooled together more money than my Supervisor knew what to do with. I seriously cried…I was deeply touched by the gesture and the sentiment!
The Gemini Fam is the real deal!!!
