And it's the first time I feel like I would have been better off if I didn't. Every other time I felt immense relief after it was done. This time I only feel dread for still being stuck here.

Why do we have so many ETW's when company is struggling with budget and going through layoff? Isn't it right time to say good bye to all ETW by June? #MassLayoffETW #SayNOToETW
