Denise received a letter earlier this week from Martin Kusiak:
 

Dear Denise,

I really appreciate what you have had done for me. You probably do not remember but after having a job with the REDACTED family through my personal contact, you hired me at the REDACTED residence during the fall/winter season. It was a very valuable time which helped me get some amazing experience. Thanks to you I was able to work for the REDACTED family!

All my career started at the Greenhouse. You believed in me/gave me a chance and I am where I am.

Thank you for everything!

Greenhouse Agency had its first Continental Monday this week, and it was a great success! It was standing room only at times and many people stopped by to apply, check their status, and to grab a doughnut, bagel, and a cup of coffee (or orange juice) while they waited to be attended. We hope that everyone that stopped by had a good time and that this sort of event is the first of many going forward!

You got it! You got the job! Hooray! The first day, you show up on time and it’s wonderful. The next day is even better. The following day is kind of rough, but it’s expected. The fourth day everything comes to a screeching halt. While walking into another room you see your coworkers stealing from the employer. No if, ands, or buts….they are stealing. They look at you and tell you to keep quiet or you will be the first to go. What the heck just happened? What do you do?   1. Do you go to the employer and [ Read the rest…]

The Staff at Greenhouse Agency wants to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day!

We cannot tell you how many people have lost their job because they talked too much. They want to spread all their personal information or they got caught up on the gossip train with other staff at the household or they got too friendly with the employer and said some things that could be deemed inappropriate. Gossiping with other staff will hurt the whole team. No one wants to feel like they are being talked about. No one wants to work in a negative space.   The entire staff, the doorman, and the chauffeur should not know you just got [ Read the rest…]
