🎄Office vibes before the holidays? A whole mood and we’ve all seen👀 (or been) one of these colleagues: Whether you’re the: 🎁 Gift Exchanger – already organizing Secret Santa (with rules, of course!), 💚 Grinch – dodging the carols and tinsel like it’s a full-time job, ✈️ Out-of-Office Enthusiast – counting down to your holiday escape, or ⚡ Last-Minute Task Solver – wrapping up projects like holiday presents at 11:59 PM… ❄️ The Snow Dreamer – staring longingly out the window, waiting for that first snowflake. There’s something magical (and a little chaotic) about this time of year. We had some fun capturing these personalities in a video – because what’s the holiday season without a little humor? Gabriel Enoiu, Mălina Lațu, Steliana Ciocan, Ilinca Bulai, Cristian-Daniel Popescu, Camelia Nadia Giba Which one are you? Or better yet, which one is your teammate?

Building Resilience: Our Journey to Becoming an Antifragile Team In today's fast-paced and unpredictable world, the most successful teams aren't just resilient—they're antifragile. These teams transform challenges into opportunities for growth, becoming more innovative and adaptable with each hurdle. By cultivating a culture of resilience, learning, and trust, they thrive in uncertainty and position themselves for long-term success. Last week, our Digital Learning and Communication Academy had the chance to attend an Antifragile Teams workshop, where they explored how to overcome challenges and adapt in today’s rapidly changing environment. 🔍 Workshop highlights included: ✔️Interactive activities: Collaborating in focus groups to test and debate diverse hypotheses. ✔️Engaging discussions: Sharing ideas openly and building on each other's perspectives. ✔️Insightful surveys: Reflecting on their own perceptions of stress, team dynamics, and identifying areas for improvement, compared to industry studies and statistics. “One key takeaway was the importance of embracing feedback, engaging in self-reflection and understanding how our daily interactions shape our sense of being cared for. These elements are fundamental for building trust, fostering collaboration, and creating an environment where stress factors can strengthen rather than hinder us,” shared Andrei CONSTANTINESCU, manager of the team. 💡 By the end of the session, our team left with valuable strategies to strengthen their resilience and create an environment where growth flourishes—even under pressure. 🙏 A big thank you to Raluca Raschip and Cosmin Alexandru, Co-founders Teamology Institute for facilitating such an engaging workshop! And thanks to everyone for your active participation: Andreea Dumitru, Iulia Andrei, Mădălina Bîrcă, Ilinca Bulai, Aura Cernat, Liana Carmen Enescu, Andrei Bryan Goudarzi, Elena Madalina Harja, Ioana Iorga, Yazid LARBANI, Mălina Lațu, Anghel Lupu, Nicoleta Mustata, Aurelia Nitoi, Mihaela Olteanu, Camelia Petre, Ruxandra Popescu ✨, Cristian-Daniel Popescu, Mihaela-Alina Toma, Ioana Udrea-Şandru, Crina Ecaterina, Ana-Maria Barbatei, Otilia Carmen Biţă, Steliana Ciocan, Ionela Dutu, Gabriel Enoiu, Florina Trandabur, Mickaël Marchais, Robert S., Denisa Vlasceanu, Loredana Ganea-Zamfirescu, Laura Parau. #Teamwork #Antifragile #GrowthMindset #Resilience #Colleagues #LifeAtOrange

Together, our mission is to deliver exceptional services that bring significant value to our stakeholders. 🖊️How have your first months as Director of OIDIS been? ➡️It’s been a busy start! In the first month, I focused on understanding the scope and purpose of our domain through one-on-one meetings with all the managers. The second month was dedicated to exploring our ecosystem, which involved engaging with partners through numerous discussions and meetings. Now, in the third month, my goal is to dive deeper into our products through hands-on demonstrations—I prefer practical insights over slides. 🖊️What qualities do you most appreciate in individuals professionally? ➡️Openness is crucial to me. I appreciate collaboration and direct communication—I believe in getting straight to the point and making the most of our time. 🖊️You’ve returned to Bucharest after nine years. What brought you back, and how do you find it so far? ➡️I decided to return because I already had a strong connection to the city. Now, after three months back, I can confidently say my feelings haven’t changed—I still love it here. 🖊️Do you have any hobbies or special interests? ➡️During the pandemic, I discovered my love for cycling after a decade without sports. It’s a great way to stay active and explore Romania, though I’ll probably resume after the winter season. 🖊️If you were to pursue a completely different career, what would it be? ➡️Being French, I have a passion for cooking—it’s my way of unwinding. At one point, I even considered starting a home business as a chef! We’re excited about the passion, expertise, and strategic vision Laurent brings to our organization. Let’s make great things happen together! 🚀✨ Join us in giving a warm welcome to Laurent! #lifeatorange #warm #welcome #Laurent

"I believe there is a symbiosis between the two, both feeding my passion for technology 🤝". In this month’s interview, we are excited to feature our colleague, Sorin ILIE, who will share insights into his passion for LEGO building. Join us as we explore #theotherside of our colleagues at Orange Services, uncovering their hobbies, passions and motivations beyond their professional lives. 👇 🖊️A few words about yourself? 📡Hello, I'm Sorin, back-office transmission expert: I operate and maintain the microwave and fiber optic transport network for Orange Romania. 🖊️How did you discover your passion for LEGO? 🎁The key moment was in 2015 when I received a LEGO Technic set as a birthday gift. Assembling this set drew my attention to the beauty and complexity of the "LEGO world." Since 2016, I have actively participated in events organized by the RoLUG group (a group recognized by LEGO). 🖊️How much time do you dedicate towards your hobby? ⏳Unfortunately, the time allocated is short. I imagine and test techniques and constructions whenever a new idea takes shape, but the final constructions come together through sustained effort just before the deadline (event or exhibition). Like most members of the group I belong to, I build at home 🏠. Exhibitions and other events are just opportunities to present to the public what we create, and of course, to enjoy the overall landscape! 🖊️What is the most challenging aspect of this hobby? And also, what has been your best experience? 🌍Participating in the construction of the largest diorama made of LEGO pieces, recognized by Guinness World Records, a title that the RoLUG Group obtained in April 2024 for the Lothal Diorama (Star Wars: Rebels), covering an area of 45,746 square meters. For this diorama, I built the Imperial Construction Module, a sphere with a diameter of about 1 meter, weighing over 32 kg ⚖️. The diorama was presented at the East European Comic Con (where it was certified by GWR as a world record), as well as at Art Safari, Park Lake Mall, and EECC in Hungary. 🖊️Does your technical role help your passion, or vice versa? 🔗I believe there is a symbiosis between the two, both feeding my passion for technology. 🖊️What are your future plans? 🏙️Short term, I will continue my activities within the RoLUG group (exhibitions and events), and in the long term, I am trying to accomplish a large-scale project, a green city of the future (Green Megalopolis).   #Inspiration #Colleagues #LEGOCommunity #Hobbies #LEGOArt #Lifeatorange

🤔 What do non-technical people think tech people actually do? 🎥   We had a little fun imagining how our work might look through the eyes of non-technical colleagues—and turned it into a video! 😄 When you hear "☁️ development", do you picture someone literally drawing clouds? Or maybe "backend engineering👨💻" sounds like turning your laptop around and learning how to code without looking? ➡️While the reality involves cutting-edge tools and big brains at work, it’s always fun to step back and laugh at how our world might seem from the outside. Enjoy the video with our talented colleague-actors: Ruxandra Popescu ✨, Crina Ecaterina, Mălina Lațu, Andrei Bryan Goudarzi, Andreea Flavia Medragoniu and comment below with the biggest realization you had when entering the IT industry👇. #WhatDoTechiesDo #TechThroughTheirEyes #FunAtWork #Colleagues #LifeAtOrange
