It is informal and not at all intimidating.
I receive raises every year based on my performance review.
Being able to work from home and knowing that my skills are valued.
We are free to work from home without having to punch a clock. We are recognized as adults who are trusted to do our work without continuous oversight.
We are very much team oriented. Any one person on our team would jump in to help someone else with their work at any given time. We ask for help and receive help when we ask. We try to build each other up not tear each other down or blame others for our mistakes.
We all know that the bottom line in any company is profit but in our company that feeling is tempered by having done a good job to get that profit. Our workmanship is as important as our compensation. Tools are put in place to help us to do our jobs to the best of our ability.
