Congratulations to the two winners, Steven Kaplan and Nathan Cole!
Electric Boat has been handing out a holiday turkey to employees each December for over 30 years. Our annual holiday turkey distribution is a way for the EB community to kick off the holiday season together, and for management to personally thank employees for their hard work and contributions to EB’s mission. After many years of carrying out this tradition, we’re curious to see what EB employees think about continuing with this annual gift.
If EB were to begin gifting something other than the traditional holiday turkey each year, what would you like to receive?
Let us know your answer to this question by taking a quick, open-ended survey EB Landing: https://eblanding.com/holiday-gift-survey/
This survey will allow you to note a new holiday gift idea you would like to receive, or let us know that you would like to continue receiving the holiday turkey.
Employees who take this survey will be entered into a chance to win a pair of tickets to a Bruins home game at TD Garden in Boston! There will be two winners randomly drawn for two different games:
- One winner will be randomly drawn on Friday, January 14 for two tickets to the game on Tuesday, January 18; Boston Bruins vs Carolina Hurricanes (TD Garden, 8:00 p.m.)
- One winner will be randomly drawn on Thursday, January 20 for two tickets to the game on Monday, January 24; Boston Bruins vs Anaheim Ducks (TD Garden, 7:00 p.m.)
Winners will be contacted on the draw dates mentioned above via an email from EB Communications at the EB email address you enter in the survey field; please use your EB email address, as this makes it easy to confirm the winner is an employee. If you don’t have access to you EB email, you may use your personal address; we’ll ask for a badge number when we reach out to confirm. Make sure you enter your name and email address carefully and correctly to ensure you can be contacted. Winners will receive their tickets virtually once contacted.
Regardless of who wins, all recommendations will be saved and reviewed for consideration; please be thoughtful and respectful with your responses. As always, thank you for your input.
