Brigido Tellez

When life is good, displaying a positive attitude at work is a snap. It’s the bad stuff that makes an optimistic approach more challenging – like seeing your vehicle on fire in front of company headquarters. Brigido Tellez, a member of Western Window Systems’ insulated glass team, knows that story all too well.

“He was laughing and making jokes about it the entire time,” says vice president of manufacturing Dean Seger. “I’ve never seen anything like it. Brigido simply does not let anything get him down. You’d never know if he was having a bad day.”

Since starting with the company in March 2015 Tellez has maintained a positive attitude, and those around him can’t help but do the same. Whether building frames, finding glass for other departments, or operating the forklift, he focuses on excellence, ensuring that Western Window Systems’ products are built with pride and care.

“Brigido’s positive attitude is key in helping us create a fantastic working environment,” says Seger. “He always has time to say hello and greets everyone with a smile.”

Congratulations to Brigido Tellez, Western Window Systems’ shop employee of the month for May.
