My top promotion during 6 years as a Workday employee was when Jon the Workdaze indoor soccer team manager told me he is going to take a break from soccer and pass the torch to me. I was relatively new on the team. When I asked Jon why he chose me he said I was the natural choice because I am obviously into it and understood soccer. The games were always intense. We only missed playoffs once in the 6 years I played. I thought everybody on the team was just as into it as I was. Now over 6 years since I left Workday, I have not played any soccer, but I am just as into Workday itself as my first year back in 2007.
The picture shows the first two generations of Workdaze. The blue players all kept their jerseys once Dave agreed to pay for the new orange kits. Some players had both blue and orange, and for the photo were told to choose one. Not everybody made it for the picture that day, but afterwards I was curious and counted: Exactly 11 a side. A magical coincidence. I believe some of the players still have this pic pinned up in their cube.
