When our HR colleague received an applicant call last week, there must have been a lot of confusion on the other end of the line.
“How would you describe the working environment in your law firm? ”
* panicked screaming*
“Mrs. B, is everything okay? ”
“We're all in Heide Park right now. A rollercoaster has just passed by here. ”
Panicked screams — from partners, lawyers and other employees — were often heard that day. Although only in agreement with the brave rollercoaster riders who ventured into the Heide Park Soltau in Colossos, Desert Race or Flight of the Demons. For those who love their lives, there were plenty of “moderate” rides, such as the Ghostbusters 5D train, Peppa Pig's little yellow house or the cozy panoramic train.
A quiz organized by our partners during the bus trip was completely harmless, but also very entertaining. In multiple choice questions, employees were able to test their knowledge of the low points in the lives of our seven law firm partners: Who has ever stabbed their calf while carving sticks? What big ghost once placed an electric kettle on the stovetop to heat the water?
The culmination of our summer party was a convivial barbecue evening on the terrace of our office: We ended the day comfortably with lemon spaghettini and beef hips from the smoker, stuffed peppers and white chocolate mousse as well as a variety of homemade sauces and chutneys and expected to enjoy one of the last summer evenings this year.
