So You have to Return To Work. What are you going to do about it?

by TPC

So...Let’s be freaking honest and skip the pleasantries. We all go to work everyday for a check. Period. End of story. We endure the disrespectful early wake up start time, trifling traffic, to enter the office. The office, a cubicle maze, where a bunch of people are gathered together to get a check, 5 days a week for 8 plus hours a day to live.

That was life, but then the pandemic happened....

Family or Fiance

by Brandon Rudolph

Family or Fiance is probably the best show on air on the OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), it discusses the real issues that couples are dealing with before they get married. To make it worse, talking about the unspoken dirty laundry in their relationship, that are hidden deep in the laundry hamper that they are exposing these issues in front of their families (not including us...the audience lol.)

How to Get Promoted

by Brandon Rudolph

With the end of the year coming so soon...comes the end of the year reviews and money! As we said time and time again perky people we are all about the money at the job, but how can we get more money from our employers? We have big goals and dreams in 2020, we have plans to go on vacations, investments, homes, and any dollar counts. To get more money from the employer and get the promotions and raises you want, we have to discuss with our management our goals, start acting like a boss, and keeping receipts of anything and everything we do!

Importance of Networking: It all starts with a hello!

by Brandon Rudolph

Job hunting and advancing your career is difficult and annoying, going through LinkedIn or Indeed searching positions and filling in the time consuming online applications. In reality, when jobs are posted online, employers may have some candidates already in mind and have interviews scheduled with those lucky few. How? This happens because of networking, these candidates already have a chance for the job prior to others.

Applying for the Job...Not Applying my Personal Life

by Lauren Mostiller

Ugh. I cannot stand it when someone shares too much of their personal life at work. No one in the office is your friend, everyone is there for a common reason to get paid. Sharing and getting into people’s personal lives is a way to kill time and a distraction from your work. Who doesn’t like the tea and gossip of someone’s life? Especially if they are going to spill and want the whole office to know, right? Wrong! This creates a culture in the workplace and on your team, that it is fair game that everyone spills the tea of what they have going on outside work.

Oh Come, Oh Come, Holiday season is here.

by Lauren Mostiller

In our personal lives, we are preparing our holiday plans; family traveling plans, holiday budgets, and meal plans. Family and friends holiday planning is a whole daytime soap drama, and can be very distracting, and can cause your career life to slack, but we are telling you don’t let up in the office just yet.

So Why The Perky Company?

by Lauren Mostiller

To be blunt, I made the Perky Company because of my own experience of dating and how emotional and vulnerable I am when my relationships ended whether I wanted them to end or not. I am a clingy, emotional and selfish once the relationship is over.
