If you have encountered any issue, raise your concern & communicate with experts @ employee assistant program. Your posts here do not help with anything.

No explanation needed.

The numbers don’t lie, and even though the decline in revenue is not dramatic, it was sad to see that Q is the only company that couldn’t make better YoY numbers even with a relatively big demand on the market. A lot has happened in the past year and... — read more
