Seasonal question… Do you find yourself with more work in the summer, or more work in the run-up to summer to prepare for consumers who’ll be vacationing/enjoying it/etc.?

Our biggest annual event is in May, so the lead up to it is a rush, especially Q1. But May to August can be quiet for us. We have another event in Oct that’s smaller but after that we ramp back up. I’ll be vacationing asap.

She said "I have not seen the world. Only 20 percent ppl go beyond money, rest look for WLB, job security, learning."
Okay, so my thoughts are from where she got that stats - 20 percent really ?
I beleive HRs are also subset of that 20 percent, bdw I don't mind saying am a elite subset of the 20 percent looking for better salaries. What's wrong in asking ?
