VirtualPBX & Best Buddies – What Really Is Labor?

VirtualPBX Proud to Participate in Best Buddies ChallengeWe celebrate Labor Day each year and get a little bit back in return for taking one of the lowest average amount of vacation days of any developed country in the world. Go ahead, take a load off, you’ve earned it! All kidding aside, though, most of us benefit from being able to function in almost any career of our choosing without any inordinate number of physical barriers to completing it. Honestly I don’t typically raise boxes of 20 pounds over my head, but thanks to, OSHA, I know that I’m not expected to do much more than that. The reality is, however, that far more people are labored beyond our experience to complete tasks we take for granted every single day.

Best Buddies Challenge

Best Buddies is an organization that is committed to helping with education, assistance, mentorship, and socialization for men and women with intellectual and physical disabilities all over the world. This coming Saturday, September 12, 2015, at the Best Buddies Challenge: Hearst Castle, we are being lead in building a team of challengers and fundraisers by our very own COO, Lon Baker. We’re working in conjunction with former participants and new employees to make an entire team event out of this, and want you to help!
