Micron’s Four Days of Christmas 2021

Micron’s Four Days of Christmas 2021

Dec 21, 2021

Micron employees rang in the Christmas season this year with the four days of Micron Christmas. Each day of our week prior to Christmas closures, the team enjoyed snack during break time. Donuts, mini-charcuterie, fruit, and pigs in a blanket were on offer as seasonal treats.

This is a small way to recognize the spirit of the season and enjoy a little quality time together, and a nice continuation of the festive spirit of the No-Turkey Thanksgiving Potluck.

Meanwhile, the annual Christmas video is in production. The theme of the employee-cast Christmas short film remains a mystery until release — which is our tradition — but the result is sure to be very cool.

From our family to yours, we are wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Micron celebrated Thanksgiving this year at our annual no-turkey potluck.

Per our tradition employees bring a dish or side of their choosing, but we leave out the turkey to give the bird a rest and save that treat for Thanksgiving Day with our friends and families.

This year’s feast featured kielbasa, pulled pork mac, corn salad, egg rolls, and many other wonderful sides our team brought. It’s a great reminder of why we work well together, and of Micron’s connection to family and community.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Micron team!

Did the sign get your attention?. The sign was displayed by a local manufacturer in the 1960’s to attract job applicants.

Here at Micron, we’ve had a recent focus on our interviewing process, especially since our business has rebounded. We need help, but the right help (regardless of gender). Values and traits that include integrity, honesty, respect, positivity, and dependability are critical to our culture at Micron. Not only that, but to the culture we bring home to our families at the end of the day.

The interviewing process consists of two discussions with the candidate: values and then skills. Questions like: “What are three (3) positive things your prior / current employer would say about you?” and “What would you like to see changed at your last job?” help us understand how the candidate would fit working at Micron with others. Skills and experience are important, but if the candidates’ values are not in sync with our culture, it is simply not a good fit. And in the end, if a company is held in high regard in the community as a great place to work, candidates will seek to apply.
