The countdown is on! What you need to know as we prepare to transition to The Barrington at 540 Northwest Highway.
Have questions? Write them on the lunchroom whiteboard or send them to Rita Gebauer. We will provide answers in our regular updates. Here are the questions we got last week:
I have to have my personal stuff out this Friday. Where am I working next week? Continue to work at The 411 as usual until your group is scheduled to move into the 540. If you’re not sure of your work schedule, reach out to your manager.
What are “personal items?” Anything that you have brought to the office to make it your own – pictures, plants, etc. Those items should be taken home.
What do I take to the 540? IT will manage moving monitors. You should take your computer and peripherals like headset/earpiece, webcam, etc. Anything you need for your day-to-day work (pens, stapler, etc.) should be taken with you when your group moves to the 540.
