Socketeer-of-the-Year 2011

Seven years ago a prestigious award was created called Socketeer-of-the-Year.

It's a cool honor we created to recognize one of our monthly You-Make-the-Difference-Award winners.

This year, at our annual company Christmas party, Socket owners George, John and Carson revealed their choice for the 2011 winner--Allie Schomaker.

So 7 must be Allie’s lucky number. Not only did she win this award in its seventh year but she was able to see her favorite artist, Kenny Chesney, in the seventh month of the year.

Not Your Average Day at the Office

It's Ugly Sweater Day here at the Socket office, and we've got some doozies.

Yep. Nothing says holiday cheer like ice-skating Santas, crocheted pigs and kissing snowmen.

Luckily, we can hide most of our folks behind the phones. But if you're planning to come to the office today, you might want to bring a pair of sunglasses to shield your eyes from the sequins, glitter and reflective ornaments.

Meet Dave Sill, Inside Network Operations Manager

Every month, Socket employees nominate and vote on a co-worker who best exemplifies our Core Values and Beliefs.

This month, we picked Dave Sill, inside network operations manager.

Dave's been around here since January 1999 (all the way back before Y2K!). So he's been involved with everything from splicing fiber to writing software.
