Working for Volt Delta Europe Ltd

As an American company, VoltDelta didn’t  just have Dress Down On Friday, it had Donut Day, not just on June 4th but every Friday. One fresh doughnut, English style, per employee.  As a newbie I was told where to queue up. Invariably there were some not in the office that day, or didn’t want them, so you could come back later for more. I couldn’t manage more than two. The caterers, Gregg, would gather the leftovers and distribute them to the hungry, who’d hang out in front of their shop their shop each Friday in hopes.

In 1997, you were expected to show up in jacket and tie, unless your company offered the dress down opton. In 2017, things were relaxed, as you can see from this photo. I often had to report to arrogant bosses in their twenties, who’d wear ties and suits to show their superiority.

In Volt Delta, I was recruited through a contract agency to become Test Manager, as the existing one was deemed unsuitable to make contact with our client. I’ll have more to say about this in my next.
