Self-Appointed Morale Officer Program

I’m very pleased to announce that after years of tireless lobbying, OFM and State HR has finally approved the new Self-Appointed Morale Officer Program (SAMO) throughout state government. Each agency is required to identify two employees to fill this new and exciting role. As a Self-Appointed Morale Officer, you are empowered to tell coworkers, managers, and executives the truth such as, “As the Self-Appointed Morale Officer, I am urging you to schedule a vacation ASAP. You need a break. [And we need one from you.]” The program gives designated individuals carte blanche to give helpful, humorous, life sustaining suggestions to support employees at any level by telling the truth with kindness. If you believe you have the moxie to fill this new roll, reach out to your manager. All applications will be reviewed by previous Self-Appointed Morale Officers for quality control. This could be you!
