We are glad that you enjoyed the raffles and found the process for requesting time off to be accessible. However, reading your description of the overall work environment is concerning to us, as we aim to foster a supportive and engaging atmosphere rather than one that feels overwhelming. We are actively working on initiatives to improve the employee experience and retention.
