We recently experienced the Dallas Stars in Style.
Michael started at the Thomson Reuters Carrollton office last week and already managed to score us free tickets to a Dallas Stars hockey game.
We also saw a Dallas Stars hockey game last fall because Michael won free tickets from his gig at 7-Eleven Corporate. The 7-Eleven seats were nice, but Thomson Reuters has a suite!
The suite came with underground parking, a private elevator to the VIP floor, and (most importantly) bottomless beer.
There were a few other people in the Thomson Reuters suite as well.
Constantly running into people from different business units is one of the best things about working for a conglomerate.
Thomson Reuters provides mass media, software, and information services across a variety of fields, so we have an insanely diverse workforce. A Thomson Reuters employee could be a lawyer, scientist, graphic designer, computer programmer, former stock trader, reporter, etc.
The coworkers we met in the Reuters suite were all salespeople for a Professional Education product, whereas Michael works for the Tax & Accounting software division, and I still work under the Minnesota-based legal services wing.
This all made for an interesting, “So what the heck does your business unit do?” conversation.

The Reuters suite is nice, but some of the other companies on the floor had elaborate suites with catered food and cake.
Some of the other companies also had a different idea of who belonged on the VIP level – we overheard a guy from another suite say, “It looks like they let the commoners onto the VIP floor.”
