The CK Daily – What feeds you?
Happy Friday, folks!
The subject line is NOT an April Fool’s joke! Last week, Shanyce shared that she is leaving CablesAndKits. While we are sad that she’s leaving CK, we’re excited for her and the role she’s heading into! Craig Haynie, the CEO of CablesAndKits, said years ago that his goal for us as a company is to be a springboard for the team members. We want to positively impact their lives and see them have a positive impact wherever they are. Sometimes that will be with us, and other times it won’t be.
We now have an open role of Customer Service Manager that we need to fill. We are looking for an individual that will be an internal champion for the customer! And they will be leading a team of customer service reps. Please share this link if you know someone who would be an excellent fit for us.
Since it’s also April Fool’s day, I cannot miss the opportunity to share something funny. Yakima released the SkyBox OhMega cargo box. It will provide you need some extra storage for your road trip, but be sure to read all the product details!
Have a great weekend!
Chris

One central theme to virtually all of that technology is an increased demand for data and the need for higher bandwidth for connectivity. More devices than ever are actively communicating, and they are placing massive burdens on existing infrastructure.
