Thank you for the feedback! We are glad that you are receiving the support and opportunities to grow in your role. With Covid, our goal has been to give employees a significant amount of flexibility and to maximize the safety of our employees and communities. Some roles could only be done in the office and so we worked with those individuals and teams to understand how best to support them.
