No one here did. Kind of disappointing, but not very surprising at all since we never do much for the holidays. How about you?

Not really but we are primarily remote so a lot of people used festive virtual backgrounds.

Halloween seems to be dying out compared to the 1950's and 1960's where there would be hundreds of well costumed kids on the streets going door to door. These days no parent will allow their kids to go out and wander the streets, ringing strangers' doorbells. As a result, over half the homes in my neighborhood are dark, unlit, and not handing out treats. I didn't see one kid go down my street last night.

Yes! Staff and residents dressed up, we do every year. We have a lot of fun actually!

How do you deal with references as a freelancer? Most of my past gigs - I had managers on paper but it was a formality as I led my own work so don't feel comfortable asking them to be a reference.

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
