Grumblers and Frustrated Helpers

Objective: This is a Guideline for a Skit on the Workplace where Martians grumble and hide in their caves, while Venetian people offer to help with unsolicited advice while they take things personally and worry. By using this Guideline, the IEEE WIE Silicon Valley chapter (Groups 1 and 2) can develop their skits to demonstrate how those from Venus can learn to be more effective and happy while they work. The skits should show how to make the Workplace a better place.

Program committee report (Jean & Wendy):

Jean and Wendy have the next meeting set up for September 19th.

Discussions & Action Items:

  • The skits & discussions were very helpful for all the members present at the meeting.
  • Decided to have the picnic on Aug 25th as potluck.

Adjourn

The meeting adjourned at 8:30 PM.
