11yThanks for this. As I read these, I am always happy to hear that people find the work satisfying. I certainly do. The people who work here care deeply about education and students. It’s part of our Credo – we believe in the power and joy of learning. That reflects back on us as employees too – we need to be continually learning to evolve as a company. You're right – we are in the midst of a print-to-digital transition. As long as our customers want print, we will continue to offer it. But much of our work and where we can add increased value to students (and instructors) is in digital. In terms of transparency, this is extremely important to me. What do you wish you knew to do your job better than you don’t right now? Please talk with your manager, or if I can help shoot me an e-mail. You have the ability to request information anytime. I’m surprised to hear of micromanagement here – it’s not usual for us – so check in with your HR partner. We are hosting a series of workshops for people managers on purposeful conversations – this may be a way for HR to help your manager to more directed, useful conversations with you, rather than micromanaging. Thanks again for posting.
