IS IT OKAY IF I TAKE NEXT WEEK OFF?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

WE'RE IN THE MOST CRITICAL MONTH OF THE SYSTEM MIGRATION.

YOU'RE ESSENTIAL TO OUR SUCCESS. ALL HANDS MUST BE ON DECK.

REALLY?

IT SEEMS AS IF ALL I DO IS LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE SAY USELESS STUFF ON ZOOM CALLS.

MY GOODNESS, NO!

EMPLOYEES ARE OUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET!

WE CAN'T SUCCEED UNLESS WE HAVE 100% EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT.

I TOOK ALL OF LAST WEEK OFF FOR VACATION, AND NO ONE NOTICED.

NEXT TIME, START WITH THAT.
