Fueled by Fun and Gambling: A Closer Look at the Spring Senate and the Funloving Presidents Earlier Years at Sheratonbiltmore and Washington Federal

Abstract

This paper provides a detailed examination of the Spring Senate and the Funloving Presidents, two prominent social groups at Sheratonbiltmore and Washington Federal, respectively. Drawing on archival materials, interviews, and participant observation, we explore how these groups formed, evolved, and maintained their identities over time. Our analysis suggests that both the Spring Senate and the Funloving Presidents were fueled by a combination of fun and gambling, which served to bond members together and create a sense of camaraderie. However, we also find that these groups were not without their challenges and conflicts, as different personalities and priorities sometimes clashed. Through our examination of these two groups, we aim to shed light on the role of social networks in organizations, the dynamics of informal power structures, and the importance of fun and play in the workplace.
