GE goes beyond a Facebook Like or Retweet
On Dr. Suess’s birthday, GE pinned some neat Dr Suess quotes in his honor. Finding the quote applicable to my Work Life Inspiration board I repinned it. The next day,
GE reached out to me via Twitter to thank me for repinning their work. Then they went an extra step with surprise and delight. Coming in from my first day back at work from vacation, I found a package on my desk with
a book and card inside. To further show gratitude for one of their community members, they actually hand wrote me a note (in Dr. Suess voice) and sent a copy of The Cat in the Hat for repinning their Dr. Suess quote.
