The pressures of meeting deadlines and milestones aren’t new to Oracle’s Database teams. As we meet and surpass our objectives, release after release, we manage to find sanity in our chaos and method in our madness. However, one thing for which we often forget to take time out is to celebrate our own hard work and hard-earned success. Acknowledging and appreciating our teams’ achievements doesn’t only enhance our commitment, but also helps us refocus our energies. As Jack Torrance would say, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
This is how our teams celebrated their success right before we began working from home, collaborating virtually via Zoom and using other tools to get the job done. Let’s hope we get to share the joy of our achievements in person before long!
Celebration genesis
In an event that saw young, enthusiastic volunteers come forward and take responsibility, from inception to execution, Oracle’s Database teams came together to celebrate their shared success in achieving their recent Database Release milestones. In line with our “for the employees, by the employees” spirit, many ideas were put forth to make this celebration as inclusive and fun as possible. Since the distribution of these teams spans two different Oracle facilities, we decided to hold such celebrations in both offices.
All together now
Being a small group, the Database team at Oracle’s Technology Hub in Bengaluru decided on a meet-and-greet celebration over high tea, which included scrumptious snacks and hot beverages. The event saw great attendance, and guests made the most of it by interacting and catching up with different teams under the Database umbrella—cross-team collaboration always brings fresh perspectives and encourages innovation. It was a very pleasant evening, with many opportunities to mingle, network, and catch up with friends in different teams over spicy snacks, tangy delicacies, laughter, and fun.
Oracle’s got talent!
Meanwhile, Oracle Knowledge Management’s Database team also celebrated its strength with a meet-and-greet over high tea. However, they witnessed an additional talent show put together by volunteers within the team. With a proper stage, an emcee to conduct the program, as well as wonderful individual and group performances by the organization’s employees, it was a highly appreciated team effort. Overall, it was an entertaining and refreshing day, with some amazing talents leaving people within the organization stunned.
