Employee Carpooling

At Next Step Publishing, we have 13 employees. Our office is in the village of Victor but much of the team is from the west side. We're talkin' Greece, Spencerport, Hilton and even Clarkson!

Needless to say, I am honored that they make the drive every day to Next Step. They are talented people that can certainly find jobs elsewhere, but choose to make the haul and contribute to the magic that is Next Step.

It hasn't been easy with the gas prices of late.

Lately, I am very proud of a decision that three of them made. They have decided to carpool! I love the maturity of this decision. Not only are they saving money and fossil fuels, but they are subtlety telling the rich oil mongers to kiss off! Plus from what I hear, there is some bonding happening in the car too.

This is a great example of what America used to be. We would react and sacrifice in times of trouble. For many years now, most Americans have lived in excess without thoughts of the consequences. We'll, the consequences are here my friend and it's time for us to work together and think. This will involve conservation and sacrifice.

Thanks to Jan, Lisa and Diana for the great example!
