So we have compiled a list of the Top 10 lessons that you can take with you as you move back home to Seattle and start a new adventure with Nordstrom…

Lesson Number 10

Having a greater understanding of Lockheed Martin’s compensation philosophy probably won’t make you feel better about your paycheck

Lesson Number 9

There are significantly more working hours available to get the job done when you utilize nights and weekends

Lesson Number 8

JUSTIN CONFUSION – It is apparently insufficient to look nothing like the other HRLDP named Justin for all your co-workers to confuse you with each other. You must differentiate yourself; or perhaps take on the persona of a “Justin” more famous than yourself…

1. Always greet your customer with a smile

2. Ask what else you can do to help them

3. Turn down their bed at night, and make it in the morning

Lesson Number 4

Never tell your team that your parents were thinking about naming you Jason or your boss will forget your real name and always refer to you as “Jason – I mean Justin!”

Lesson Number 3(Jason’s Justin’s lesson to us)

Based on Hotel Customer Service etiquette, never say, “No problem.” Say instead:

“Of course!” “Certainly, will do!” “Always a pleasure!” “Okay, sounds good!”

Lesson Number 2

Remember to ask yourself the following question on all future PowerPoint presentations:

Wrong:• The ABR increased by 12% on 1/5/13

The LCR Decreased by 5.4% on 1/10/13

Right: The ABR increased by 12.1% on 01/05/13 The LCR decreased by 5.4% on 01/10/13

TOANs include:1. Same bullets, same size2. Same font and same capitalization rules3. Consistent numerical precision4. Leading zeroes on dates5. Line up those charts and tables!

“Self…what would Doug Lovelace say is wrong

Lesson Number 1.3(Because it turns out Comp Analysts can’t reliably count to

10)

Never underestimate the complexity of the pay component of a union collective bargaining agreement like ASPEP:

Rank all 1,600 engineers, take the top 20% of the bottom 10% plus the bottom 31% of the next 30% and give them a 2.475% increase. Then take the top 69% of the next 30% plus the bottom 55.3% of the next 40% and give them 3.300%. Then take 7.2% of the next 40% and give them 3.475%... Oh and please develop 7 different merit scenarios to determine how much to give the top 37.5% of the 40% and 100% of the top 20%.

You have one week.
