We are excited to share the official group photo from our recent Thanksgiving round of Mannheim Treat83™.
As you can see in the photo above, our winners apparently gathered in a pristine, snowy forest to showcase their treats. Did they brave the elements for a photo op, or is this the work of some clever Photoshop magic? We will let you decide!
A Season of Gratitude
While the setting of the photo might be up for debate, the gratitude displayed by District 83 staff is 100% genuine. This particular round of Treat83™ was extra meaningful.
Typically, winners are drawn from those who receive nominations. However, for this Thanksgiving edition, we turned the tables. Every winner listed below is someone who took the time to express their thankfulness for a colleague by submitting a We83™ Appreciate You nomination.
These staff members lift others up, offer support, and celebrate the strengths of their peers. Their willingness to spread positivity makes D83 a special place to work and learn.
