Celebrating Our Colleagues at John’s Crazy Socks

A First Paycheck Celebration to Make You Smile 

At John’s Crazy Socks, we believe that work should be meaningful, inclusive, and fun. We don’t just hire people; we celebrate them. More than half of our team—22 out of 34 employees—are people with differing abilities. For many, this is their first job, and we take that milestone seriously. Let us share the special ways we welcome and honor our Sock Wranglers (what we lovingly call the pickers in our Pick and Pack warehouse). 

Three Moments of Joyful Celebration

  1. A Personal Business Card
    On their first day, each new team member receives a personalized business card. This isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s a badge of honor that says, “You are a professional, and you are part of our team.” The joy on their faces when they see their name on the card is priceless. It’s a moment that sets the tone for a career filled with pride and purpose.
  2. A Named Sticker for Every Order
    Every Sock Wrangler gets a custom sticker with their name. This sticker goes on every order they pick, letting customers know exactly who made their package special. It’s our way of saying, “You matter.” And when customers see that sticker, they know their purchase is supporting a mission to employ and empower people with differing abilities.
  3. The First Paycheck Ceremony
    Perhaps the most emotional moment is the first paycheck presentation. For many, it’s their very first paycheck—a symbol of their hard work and independence. We gather the entire team, cheer loudly, and make it a celebration to remember. It’s more than just money; it’s a recognition of ability, effort, and accomplishment.

Join the Celebration

These moments aren’t just about our employees—they’re about the message we send to the world: when you focus on what people can do, you unleash incredible potential.

We’re sharing videos of two first paycheck celebrations to let you experience the joy firsthand. Watch how these small acts of recognition make a big impact on lives.
