On Workplace practices in the 21st century

Hey guys,

I have a great idea for us senior staff here at the bank.  Let’s make all the new hires out of college dress up and bring us coffee!  I think it will be a hilarious team-building exercise!

I’m amazed this still goes on in 2016.  I mean “I get it” and it’s “harmless fun” and “it’s been done for years” but it seems so out of whack with the 2016 workplace that it amazes me.  How does it play out if Rookie X decided he’d rather not dress up and/or get you coffee?

Also, I keep hearing about travel and day games after night games and how hard it would have been to hang around the ballpark last night and then be back this morning. Apparently everyone got a good night’s sleep and was able to siphon some time from breakfast/sleep/prep to do this.

Final question, who acquires the costumes, and who in the organization says go ahead? Is it Terry? Someone above Terry? Some senior person on the Mets? (and who is the senior active Met right now – Lucas Duda?)
