Today we were told that we were spending the day in HR; instead, Reese and I talked to one of SAS’s employee trainers, which he said was very different from Human Resources. His job is to help train emerging leaders in the SAS workforce, a job for which he gets to fly all around the world as a part of. We also got to sit in on one of those meetings where Nick, the new head of the marketing team at SAS, talked to some of the participating employees. The meeting was very interesting; Nick talked about everything from engaging millennials in their occupations to integrating marketing platforms across SAS’s variegated products. The meeting was very insightful, although my favorite part of the day was the blueberry peanut butter smoothie I had to start it off in the cafeteria in Building C. It doesn’t sound good, but it certainly was. The surprising was the color; I expected warm brown, instead I got a deep purple, not at all what I associate with peanut butter. Walking around building C, I also saw the outlets for all the water that gets caught on the top of buildings when it rains; it was right above a table where people could eat, which I’m sure leads to some wet surprises
