How many of you would walk away if vaccines are mandated?
Be honest. I'm already vaccinated, so this wouldn't affect me one way or another, but I'm curious to know how many people would be willing to put their livelihood on the line over this. Especially considering that more and more companies are moving... — read more
How much effort do they want from employees?
I gave my best and still I received criticism. I just wonder what this company really wants from an employee? It never seems to be enough for them, no matter how hard we work. The only reasonable explanation is that they are putting pressure on us to... — read more

Some say it’s stuck in the 90s and I totally agree. I don't understand why there is so little will to do something so that it would no longer be stuck in the past? Maybe they don’t have a vision or they don’t have the competence? Admittedly, maybe... — read more
