AutoCom Employee of the month for August

The month of August was very busy for us AutoComers and everbody worked very hard!

But one colleague earns special thanks for acting very bravely and professional in a crisis situation!

Lauren Kiehler awarded the Employee of the month for August!


She fractured her ankle that day but still walks from office to office without feeling sorry for herself.






Some people claim she had a little accident on a friends' bachelorette party while she was walking on high heels although she had some little coordination problems.

But that isn't true, of course!

We'll tell you what really happened...

It was a typical Thursday morning: The sun was shining; the squirrels were collecting nuts in our little company garden and every AutoComer worked very hard and was in a good mood when we got a call.

One AutoCom client needed a media kit as soon as possible in a very critical situation.

AutoCom tried to call an express service but all phone lines were dead.

Since all of us were brought to work by family memebers and our CEO was on his way to another client there was no car available.

We all got really nervous and had no idea what to do when Lauren decided to do a hand delivery and started running all the way to our client.

She had run more than 30 miles when a car hit her by driving right over her foot.

But nothing could stop her this morning and she stood up, calmed the driver down and went on her route without feeling the terrible pain.

She arrived at the client right on time which helped him and us in a very critical situation. Everybody was more than happy...

But also nobody noticed that she arrived injured, with so much pain since she acted very professional.

Lauren needed another 15 hours to walk back with a very swollen ankle in the meantime.

For her courage and outstanding commitment Lauren gained a lot of honor and has been awarded with the

AutoCom Employee of the month for August!

Thank you Lauren!!!!!!!!!

You've also awarded a green card for the next years "High-Heel Race" since we heard walking in high heels is one of your biggest hobbies.





We all hope your ankle will get better soon!!!

Representing the Jury

Hmmmm....the bachelorette angle never occurred to me.

Running in high heels seems like it might be somewhat difficult as well....especially over cobblestones.

I'm still curious about what really happened at the bachlorette party.

That is the best story ever...but as we all now, real life tells the best stories.

Lauren, if you ever join the high heels marathon let me know...one more reason to come back to Detroit :o)
