I have witnessed so many concerns that when brought up to management, they are disregarded and dismissed bc that employee is just so ...  Its very concerning when management contributes to the problem or isnt willing to address the problem.  We should all want to seek improvement even when we have to improve from within. ]]> 2021-04-19 21:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gkoster2/56ufphf1fcto3753/wish/1435235696
