We value the opinions of our people and are always open to their perspectives. If you truly want to engage, are open to a constructive conversation and have not “given up” then please contact Scott, the CHRO, directly. These meetings are always confidential and there will be no hard feelings or negative ramifications even if we don’t make any progress. These statements are so broad, general,and subjective a response is not practical.
