Thank you for your transparent and constructive feedback. Fairness is fundamental to us. That is why we have implemented a results-driven salary distribution approach, ensuring fair compensation for everyone. (In 2023, we addressed over 400 instances of gender-based salary disparities proactively.) We place utmost importance on our employees' well-being, as well as reasonable workloads. We apologize for all lapses in your experience and will reiterate our principles to all managers to strive to a 100% rate. Your daily commitment is greatly appreciated. Kindest regards.
