2yThanks for the thoughtful review. I’m sorry to hear you’re not optimistic on where we are heading, but I understand it. Change isn’t easy, and we have been through—and are going to continue to have—change in our company as we keep pace with the world.
And yes, you’re correct that I believe that having people back in the office is important to our culture. Our culture is based on trust and relationships—and those relationships are based on face to face engagement. Once you have a strong base, having remote employees works just fine—we’ve had remote workers since we formed (it’s part of where our name came from) but you need the critical mass to build culture.
On compensation, we do regular market reviews on salary and compensation and make adjustments as we can.
But bottom line, it sounds like you’re not happy. I can tell you this—my door is always open and my calendar is open for anyone to book time. If you’ve got ideas on how we can do things better than we’re doing them now, come on in and talk to me and be part of the solution. You may find it gets more results than an anonymous post on a web site.
