Autodesk loves its dogs. You might say it’s in the company’s DNA.
One of my favourite internal Slack channels is #fun-dogs-of-autodesk (the “fun” prefix just indicates it’s not business-related). Susan Taylor posted a link to a CBS flashback video there yesterday, which speaks to our long history of welcoming furry friends into the workplace.
There are lots of familiar faces in this video: Lynn Levy, Linda Saldana and Patti Harris (who very sadly passed away some years ago). I worked with them all in the 90s/00s in some capacity, so this was a real “blast from the past”.
By the way, we used to call those “huge, honking laptops on the desks” desktops, from what I recall. 😉
Back in the day we used to have several dogs in the Neuchatel office, too, which definitely brought an interesting dimension to the workplace. One Rottweiler, in particular, used to create the occasional problem by marking its territory in various ways.
Anyway, the world has since…
