Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing the supportive management and rent discounts. We regret to hear that a message was somehow grossly misinterpreted, as the situation you described with our Human Resources team does not mirror any messages conveyed by our HR team, nor does it align with Equity Residential's culture. We appreciate your input and wish you the best in your future endeavors.
