I couldn't have imagined that giving notice would feel so good! I am almost certain that if we were to talk to most people, the feeling they had when they gave a notice was better than when they first got the job here?

Is SF going to update their hybrid policy? Covid #s are rising. I have spoken to several co-workers and all of us are a little uneasy about Omicron. I hope vaccines (no offense to anyone who isn’t, I support freedom of choice) help to only get mildly... — read more
