On-screen text

if we were actually honest on employee surveys "Are there responsibilities you want to STOP doing?" Yes, okay, where's my old job posting description? Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+V "Do you feel your compensation is aligned with your contribution?" LOL. "Are there trainings or certifications you're interested in?" If you mean in general, I want to take a pasta making class in Italy. If you mean job-specific trainings, Past. "Do you feel you have a clear career path here?" That would require a level of delusion I have not yet attained because Leadership does not even have a clear path on the company's direction for the next quarter. "Which processes feel outdated, confusing, or inefficient?" Y'all do know that Finance does everything in spreadsheets, right? "How have you contributed to team culture?" Every day I refrain from slapping Jeremy in the face. Though maybe slapping him would improve team morale.
