Leaving Drinks - going to the USA

Unfortunately we are going to say good bye to our Manager, who was only a short time at B4F. However, she made such an impact, that you just can't forget about her. With tears in our eyes we farewelled this special lady and enjoyed a couple of drinks as for Janine are waiting bigger adventures at eBay.







Being accepted into the Leadership Program the next two years she will rotate and travel around the US and other parts of the world. What we will most miss about her, the energy, the vibe, the laughter, the drive, the courage, her being loud.





Good luck and lots of success and adventures for your future - stay safe

Big 40th coming around - Happy Birthday

I'm wishing a very Happy Birthday to my big brother, lots of love, happiness, contentment, health and a bit of luck. I hope you enjoy today and the company of your family and friends. I also hope you love the little (or big) surprises we organised for you. I guess all involved did a great job. On the other hand you surprised us (me) with your emotions when I handed you that little extra gift, which by the way l thought you will love very much, and I was right. It's perfect!



Anyway, the big 40th is right here and lots of milestones have been reached, big ones and smaller ones. I hope when you look back in time that you will smile and think only of the great moments and achievements and that you would do it all over again, no regrets.


You can be proud of yourself as we are proud of you, having two beautiful children that love you very much. You are there for them each and every day watching and guiding them in order to grow up and succeed. Lets get on with life and whatever it is throwing at you and have a blast. Remember, life is not just about working but living.


Happy Birthday Thomas

Culinary adventure through Berlin Friedrichshain

The beauty about working for eBay is that a lot is done on team building exercises and therefore ones every quarter we are finding ourselves on the streets of Berlin. Todays adventure was about food and a little bit history of Friedrichshain, one of many districts of Berlin.




We started with having Berlin's famous "Currywurst", if you ever come to Berlin you must have one of these. That was the first stop, nine more places before we will finish our culinary journey. We had lots of different cuisines to try, from German to Austrian, to Turkish followed by some chocolates, cakes and desserts. We basically covered all bases. In between we listened to some stories which took place here in Friedrichshain and had plenty of time to chit chat about work or else.




Thank you eBay for yet another lovely day with the team & lead
