Anybody know how to decrypt the encrypted files I save off my laptop? I think I need a key to access but not sure and don’t have said key. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Anyone inspired after hearing the latest townhall? Seems all metrics green and showing good trend. Great job to the leaders. And the Academy looks exciting!

Guess what. 3M is now going to restrict messaging apps on BYODs. Seems like LEGAL (always those weasels) is afraid you're going to tell sh-t you shouldn't. If you are Gen X or younger, ditch this cr-ppy company!! There's so much more out there.

What a great team. Now that Peter doesn't have to work under the micromanaging Mike, he's free to soar to new heights. More lean the better. Peter has more work to do to get those bloated costs down. Go Pete Go!
