My job is to make sure no one works on weekends. It's to make sure that people observe holidays and use up their vacation hours. We give constant feedback, and let our team know that we're open to criticism and change. We also support people in their journey, whether they choose to grow with us in their career, or use us as a stepping stone to a better opportunity.
