Mass Market is actually comedy. They went into a full week “lockdown”… just to come back out and say, “We need to move faster.” That’s it? That’s the breakthrough?

Survey Results Decoder for “Leadership”
Leadership seems to need a decoder to comprehend the results, so here it is. The negative survey results are not about healthcare perks or wellness programs no one uses, they are only about RTO and the lack of flexibility. “I am proud to work at... — read more

Nepotism is getting out of hand
The recent hires coming through are really questionable. Some managers are just bringing in friends who aren't qualified for the roles. Hard to watch when actual talent is sitting out there looking for work.
