ZeroTurnaround is a spin-off of Webmedia (fastest growing software development company in the Baltic States since 2000). Before JRebel (our flagship product) we worked in the R&D team of Webmedia. Then came JRebel, JSPWeaver, ZeroTurnaround and now we’ve spinned off and are at a new office.
A spin-off is a new organization or entity formed by a split from a larger one, such as television series based on a pre-existing one, or a new company formed from a university research group or business incubator.
Moving is work, getting stuff into boxes, moving the boxes and getting the stuff out of the boxes. We were able to add a fun factor to the process. The evening before the move our team was having beers at a local bar and one thing lead to another and the next moment we were at the old office with a knife, pillow and 3 eggs and it was 1AM.
So in the middle of the night, at the office, 3 guys with the mentioned equipment and a plan! The plan was simple. Webmedia CEO’s name is Eagle (at least in the Estonian language) and what if we prep his office for a proper leaving. Stage it as birdies leaving the nest, feathers, egg-shells. Awesome plan from just 4 beers!
Pictures follow.
- The sign says ZeroTurnaround guys have left the nest. Thanks!
- Yeah, all the feathers come from a single pillow
- Yes, I’m missing a pillow
- Yes, we had to clean it up (well, just me, because everybody else supposedly had more important tasks at hand).
