Authentic Appreciation

Elsa, Ana & Nick – Vancouver / Front End Staff

This has been such a fast paced interesting week at The Authentic T-Shirt Company®/SanMar Canada, Vancouver location.

Elsa, Ana and Nick have been stretched to the limit with customers via the phone and walking in the front door – they missed coffee breaks, lunch breaks and did whatever it took to look after our customers.

I am sure that our customer service departments and our warehouses across the country have all been doing the same thing. But the positive attitude and kindness that comes from our Vancouver office is a shining example why it is a pleasure to work at The Authentic T-Shirt Company®/SanMar Canada.

Annette Narcisse, Anamaria Avramescu, Geoffery Penford, Ana Leiva and Sarbjit Chandi – Vancouver / Warehouse

I would like to appreciate following people for their hard work and performing a good team work in past week.

Annette Narcisse, Anamaria Avramescu, Geoffery Penford, Ana Leiva and Sarbjit Chandi deserve to be appreciated as they go above the beyond to ship the orders on time.

Scott Pierce / Regional Sales Manager – Toronto / Eastern Ontario

Can you say HANDY MAN?! Mr. Scott Pearce is rather versatile, I’d say! From his people skills to his handy man efforts – he is so helpful regardless of where his help is needed! Today, during my afternoon smoke break, I noticed one of the lovely warehouse ladies (Margaret) had not only a flat tire, but the tire had come off completely just before pulling into work – thank goodness she made it! Long story short – Scott was in his SUV when he noticed the chaos & offered his help. I didn’t see the end result however, I did see him put forth his assistance in trying to find a spare tire, etc. On a gloomy Monday, it warmed my heart. This is something Margaret will probably never forget – these things go a long way! Keep being effortlessly awesome, Scott – you truly brighten our days at SanMar Canada Mississauga!!

Danielle Christie/Account Executive, Mississauga

I would like to praise Danielle for her efforts during my vacation, visiting the East Coast. I came back to an empty tray, sparkling-clean inbox & a whopping 30 completed new accounts!!! With Busy-Season quickly approaching, I can only imagine how difficult it was for her to keep up with both the pick-up counter & new accounts, especially 30 of them! I am so thankful to return to work to such organization! Thank YOU, Danielle, for being SO AWESOME! This is so much appreciated! I can literally start my day on a brand new slate, here’s to a great week!! J

Thanks again girlfriend!
Regards,
Maisha

Serena Yarwood / Account Executive, Vancouver

I think Serena deserves a lot of appreciation because she goes above and beyond to train the new Account Executives and taking her time to show them the ropes and still manages to do her work. I think she is awesome!

Maisha Browne / New Account Coordinator, Mississauga

Words cannot express how thankful I am for the help that Maisha has given me. She has, on numerous occasions covered my emails and faxes when I am away and just recently covered for me when I had to leave unexpectedly. When I return my emails are always well taken care of and I am not coming back to a lot of unfinished work.

Thank you Maisha!

Roberto Veloso / Warehouse, MIssissauga

This is my first time doing this but I feel this person is whole heartedly and entirely deserving. Roberto is an exceptionally hard working individual. He always has a smile on his face making it known to everyone around him that he keeps the utmost positive attitude and work ethic. Whenever I need assistance with a pick up order I know I can count on him and he will still finish off with a smile. His patience and understanding is exceptional. I cannot see how any of the above mentioned reasons would not be reason to acknowledge Roberto Veloso as a dedicated and loyal SanMar Canada employee.

Maricel Brown & Viti Ferrer / Warehouse, Vancouver

I would like to acknowledge Viti and Maricel’s thoughtfulness for all their co-workers.

I come into work very early in the morning and most times, I have to go right to reception to cover the phones.

Viti and Maricel come in early also to have their breakfast but besides enjoying coffee, they make coffee for their co workers, clean the kitchen, wash out the microwaves and put the dishes away. Today, I thanked the ladies profusely, and told them that they should be recognized.

Their response was no, we do not do this for recognition. “We love Sanmar Canada”. How fortunate am I to work with these ladies?

Peter Li / Network Administrator, Vancouver

Over the two years I’ve been here as a member of the team, Peter has always made himself available to help when our office technology creates a problem rather than solving it. Just recently Peter helped me solve the mystery of our haunted colour printer in the Marketing department. It would continually spool up the same job that had been cancelled multiple times, even after power cycling both the workstation and the printer itself. Colour printouts are expensive, and watching the printer become possessed by some kind of malicious waste demon was horrifying. Enter Peter Li, techno-exorcist, and in a matter of minutes the printer was its own self again, contentedly purring as it printed what we needed, rather than whatever diabolical force wanted to manifest.

Thank you Peter! We’ll call you if dastardly machine spirits rear their heads again.
