Can’t think of any due to executive level leadership. It was once a great company that was culture and people driven. That has been gutted with 2 major layoffs in the last 4 years.

I have a barbell and weights going up to 200 lbs. Upper body training is not a problem; I can do weighted pull ups, weighted dips, and strict press. Sometimes DB bench. Lower body training is difficult because I would rather not do endless reps. I have recently started doing split squats and am a lo...Read more
At work we have to watch these set of recorded training session videos. Training occurred at one our foreign locations and they recorded it via Teams.

The offer is at an exciting startup and I know my current job wouldn’t be able to match salary or 100% WFH forever. I feel like I ...Read more
