Co-Founders John Stix (CMO), Jody Schnarr (CEO) & President Roy Graydon
That’s a question we love to get, although the answer is neither easy nor short. When Fibernetics, Worldline’s parent company, was first launched in 2003 there were only a handful of people on board, working insane hours in the basement of the house owned by Jody Schnarr. Today Jody is our CEO and we’ve grown from that small handful (who are all still here by the way) into a much larger family with over 200 employees providing Telco services to hundreds of thousands of Canadians.
Yet, we still believe in the same things we did on day one: Superior service and fair prices are in our DNA – as is a sense of fun in everything we do.
Fibernetics people are from all over the world, with an extensive variety of backgrounds, previous experiences and who come in all shapes, sizes and ages.
We are friendly, hardworking and ambitious people. We love what we do and we especially appreciate people who are excited to come to work every day. Talent and passion are traits we look for in our people. But more than that, we want folks that question the norm, and always look for better ways to do things.
At Fibernetics, we are shaking up Canadian telecom and to do that we need innovators, creators and forward-thinkers…
… who also like to have a good time. We are seriously social around here, and hold events on a weekly basis to bring co-workers together in different environments, be they backyard BBQ’s or bowling or hitting our in-house gym. Fibernetics people are also all about giving back. Our social committee, The Fun Bunch, hold fundraisers to raise money throughout the year to help out the less fortunate in our local community.
Our corporate culture can be expressed in just two words: Beyond Telecom.
What that means is, although we are a telecom service provider to the residential and business sectors, we know we are providing more than just a fast unlimited Internet connection or clear phone calls. We’re providing a high-quality essential service to an overcharged marketplace.
To accomplish that we need a highly motivated, happy, creative staff who bring it every day.
And that’s what it’s like to work at Worldline, NEWT, our business services division and Fibernetics.
Great story! I am so happy to see friends and colleagues doing so well, being “disruptive” in the Telecom space. Stix, Jode, and Roy…keep it up!
