Looking forward, looking back

I’ve worked with OPSM/Luxottica for the last fifteen years and I must say they have been rather more enjoyable than the six years beforehand where I had worked for other places. Luxottica is a big company, it’s also a big family. If you stay long enough, you get to know a lot of people, and these people are good people. A central aspect that also makes working for Luxottica an enjoyable, rewarding and fulfilling experience is the fact that the company is well lead. Being part of a progressive and growing organisation is a great feeling, and there are no plans on my part to explore different work opportunities.

Fifteen years is a reasonable time, and who knows how many tens of thousands of people I’ve helped. The cool thing about working for Luxottica are that my work experiences are nation wide. Certainly I work in metropolitan Perth, but I have great memories of other places, like Tasmania, beautiful Tasmania. I have gorgeous memories of a day off, having a quiet beer in a warm pub in Hobart, looking out on the harbour and the sailing boats all framed by an overcast sky, choppy water and Salamanca markets to my right. Or that time I worked in Canberra and walked beside those walls with the names of thousands of fallen servicemen in the War Memorial thinking how could so many people die like that. And then there was that time I was in the Pilbara, admiring her ferocious beauty, standing alone on kilometers of beach watching bright red herringbone clouds inch toward the sea/sky horizon at sunset. Got lots of other memories too.

Working for Luxottica means being busy, doing a lot of good and working with great people in great places. We see what memories will be created next year, I am looking forward to the journey and am enjoying the ride.
