Walking the Talk or Walking the Dog?
Ivanhoe's Corporate Lingo Keeps Life Fun!
When someone demands it's time to "Take Ms. Plum for a walk," the initial response of new Ivanhoe employees is to stop what they're doing and take a fearful glance around to see what the office dog has done. Yet seconds later, they can stop, sigh a breath of relief and giggle a little, since suggesting a bathroom break for Ms. Plum, an overexcited Sheltie, is the Ivanhoe way of saying to your boss, "I made a mistake, can we talk?"
Breaking the tension of a disaster with doggie humor is just the beginning of Ivanhoe's corporate lingo -- part of a unique culture where employees have always had fun.

It's the last train from Clarksville.
We've got a problem.

I made a mistake, can we talk?
Time to dig for gold.
