I just want to say that for the first time in my two years of public accounting, i had a manager call me just to see how my mental health was and to make sure that their stress wasnt adding to mine
And i just thought that was the nicest thing anyones done for me here and i want to encourage everyone to check in with their staff and not just their workflows
