Personally, I love the idea of stressing Four Core Values at the work place. I think the best part of the core values signs are at the very bottom where it states, "Dont worry too hard about SHM. If you do #1, #2, #3, and #4 well, SHM will be just fine." The first time I read that was on my very first day of work, and I thought that was so clever. It really took away all the nerves and anxioty I had coming in because I got the sense that everyone was laid back and together.

Now that I've been here for 5 weeks now I starting to understand the environment and I'm getting to know alot of my co-workers. I really like core value #2, because if you get to know someone on a personal level, then I feel like everything after that will follow. I've really been trying to talk/joke around with as many people in the office. My thoughts are if you get to know who a person really is, then the other core values like having eachother's backs or we are a family, will progressively build over time. I truly feel like that is true in everyday life too. If you know someone on a personal level, then "working together" will just happen, which will lead to better things in the futre.
