Good afternoon everyone! Hope everyone is having a great day! If you had one thing that you would change about your work life, what would it be? For me, I think it would be that I want to have less meetings and focus on more on work.

I'd make it a four day work week. I think we can get more done if we work ten hour days, four days a week. It'll help keep everyone more refreshed.

A four day work week works wonders I hear! Don’t they do that more overseas and less in the US?

If I had my way, I'd tone down the meetings too. Honestly, most of our discussions could easily be handled through a Teams chat or a quick email.

That’s me too. I have like 5 or more meetings a day now!

I can relate to the desire for a more focused workday. If I were to change one thing about my work life, it would be to streamline communication channels and have more efficient meetings.

That’s is a really good one!

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors. The pay is good but I’ve seen a handful of websites with employee rating that is really bad. Each site has roughly 10 reviews but most are negative. Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.
