Taking a Page from the Disney Playbook
This past weekend was spend re-cabling our Data Center. The hours were VERY long, but in the end it was worth it.
I’m hoping to take a page from the Disney Playbook.
At Disneyland, all the cast members are trained to pick up litter and properly dispose of it. The reason for this is twofold. First it keeps the park clean. Second, it provides a deterrent for those visitors who might be inclined to litter. It’s tough to be the first to throw litter on a spotless walkway or piazza.
I’m hoping our spotless cable runs, neatly tied, labelled and tucked away, will help remind us all to keep the data center spotless.
We’ll see if Walt was right.

Walt may be right, but he has his employees to back him up on it. That theory is DRILLED into them so tight that some of them actually do it outside of work.
Unfortunately, it’s not drilled into employees enough to keep cabling straight. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to re-do cable management because of some knucklehead that came along and just strung up cables willie nillie.
