Having That Dynamite Attitude Without Having To Blast

My name is Keidre Trammell and as most of you probably know I am a Team Leader for Texas 811.  I have enjoyed working here since July of 2003. My time here has been both exciting and rewarding. From the very first day of walking into the office and having the opportunity to speak to Lance Parker, I immediately knew that this was the company for me.  TESS was made up of wonderful people and I wanted in.  I  feel so at home and at ease working with my peers.  It is like being part of a family rather than just a drone at some, “Who are you?” type of company. I have worked at several Call Centers, but never felt that I would make a lifelong career with any of them until I started working at Texas811. When I think back to my earlier days and how different it was, I am excited and proud to have been part of all the changes and growth. I have been very fortunate to be surrounded by people who support and push me to excel within the company. Before I was employed here I  had never worked in a management position. Mike Losawyer and John Sparks saw something in me that I hadn’t realized on my own. I was a good employee and I had the potential to be a great leader. I will forever be grateful for the potential  those two recognized in me. This company is great at recognizing hard work and dedication to the common goals of excelling and achieving greatness. Being surrounded by people who share your passion and drive makes eight hours a day (and sometimes more)  an easy task. I look forward to getting up every morning and coming to work. I take pride in what I do and all of my accomplishments within our company. All fun aside, this company is about public safety and I take my job very serious. There is not a day that goes by that I am not striving to do the best job possible. I would not have grown mentally, emotionally, and physically if it had not been for the responsibilities bestowed upon me and the bonds that I created within our company. The friends and experiences here will only continue to grow at Texas 811.  Our company  is a great place and the changes we have made this year alone have been wonderful. The recent and ongoing changes have reignited the spirit and excitement from better days. We are building a culture and employees are excited about their job and they feel important. The atmosphere is great and employees are buzzing about our upward direction.  We are building a solid team and I am privileged to be a part of Texas811.  Go Team Dynamites!
