Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you enjoy working from home. At MKS, we are now offering many roles with work from home or a hybrid model options. I am concerned to read that you do not have a good work-life balance. As an organization, we place a high value on this balance. Our CEO has taken a strong stand and communicated directly to employees about this topic. I would like to understand more about your concerns and how I can help. I can be reached at MKS.Feedback@mksinst.com.
