Dear colleague, Thank you for your thoughtful review! It’s great to read that you’ve had a positive experience as a Desk Controller over the past few years, and we’re glad you appreciate the decent pay and the availability of jobs for those willing to work hard. Your point about micromanagement is important. We believe in providing our employees with the necessary support and guidance, but we also understand the importance of giving them the space and freedom to work independently. There are always topics on which we can improve. Therefore, we will forward your remarks to the responsible parties. Your feedback helps us get better every day. Thanks again for your feedback, and for being a key part of our DHL family! Take care, Your DHL Team
