I'm starting a new job but have a staff training day next week before I start. They have told me to bring along a culture box to help everyone get to know me.

I have no idea what to put in it. I'm a mum to 3 children so don't have much going on other than being a mother.
They mentioned to fill a shoe box.

Does anyone have any ideas or tips ?

Thanks In advance 😁

I would put a bottle of wine, a colin the caterpillar cake, a pair of pyjamas and a photo of my family.

Another one with huge feet!!

🤣🤣

Ugh. What a daft idea. I would do a book, a food, one personal thing (a shoe, a piece of jewellery, a lipstick, a photo). Maybe a song title. Or, a photo as a baby, a child, a teen, in 20s. And talk about yourself at each stage.

If abandoning this job instantly is not an option, mine would contain a black and white scarf, a photo of the Northumberland tree that was disgracefully vandalised, and a book about Bedlington Terriers.

Resignation letter ! .... honestly I have no idea what they are asking for - why do companies do this, it's worse than 2 truths and a lie !

Isn't it! Shit like this makes me cringe. Or tell us a fun fact... Shudder!
