  • The building was shot recently (approximately 1 month ago at the time of this writing).
  • Kind of soulless work.

Advice to Management

When I started, the tentacles of Philadelphia had not yet gained a stranglehold on Denver operations. Hopefully, at some point in the future, the corporate monster will cast its baleful gaze elsewhere, and you can return to the more relaxed environment we had pre-pandemic. But in the short term, the best advice I can give is to quit laying all blame at the feet of the low-level team managers. They're cracking under the stress, which doesn't help the fact that they are utterly powerless to address the vast majority of their teams' complaints. It's causing friction.
