Behind the Scenes of Nuffnang is Hiring!

The past few weeks have been crazy for us at Nuffnang.

So many new developments, so much work just coming in all at one go... all of us has barely had the time to have everything done in time.

Ming and I for example used to monitor blogs that talk about Nuffnang and personally address the issues that any bloggers have, but as of late, we've had so much work on our hands we can't seem to find the time.
Our entire team has been just as busy.

They used to be able to reply support e-mails within the hour, but now we get over 100 e-mails each day and that's from BLOGGERS alone, not even including the follow ups with our advertisers.

So one day while in our busy office, Ming and I decided that everyone needed a short break away from the computer screen so we got everyone in our Penang office together and headed for our Conference Room
(Well everyone except another two of our Nuffnangers who were out of the office at the time.. boohoo! unlucky you.. missing all the fun).

The objective... was for everyone to prepare alphabets of Nuffnang and put them all together to deliver an SOS message to the Blogging Community (that we need more people to sustain our growth).

Ming started off trying on an "N"

Then we all got together to grab our favourite alphabets.
And struggled to get organized.

Well we kinda spelled it right.
Then we all got together for the full name.

But Ming spoiled our picture with that blur look on his face.

So we tried it again and we got it right this time.

EVERYBODY!!!



At the end of it, everyone in the team was happy and morale was high again as everyone got back behind their workstations.

Some say we wasted some company time doing this... but I say everyone needs a breather every once in a while... and everyone was certainly much more productive after this.
