Business Outlook

Pros

Mostly supports remote workers, and try to look like they care about employees. Glimmers of getting back to the core business and being profitable.

Cons

CEO is a joke. Just doing what ever ESG / DEI garbage the board tells him to. They grew too fast and are now only floating because of a government loan. After they laid off a bunch and started closing locations they are hoping to lose more from attrition. Everything comes from China.
