I appreciate you taking to this platform to share your open and honest feedback. All outlets really do help to frame experiences and spur meaningful solutions. I'd also recommend taking the opportunity to sue your voice through the engagement surveys sent out to each team member each quarter and even take the opportunity to participate in a business resource group. We're in it together and need to lean in and on each other to make sure experiences like yours aren't repeated.
