Walk me through what that time was like for you and your colleagues in HR, in Talented Culture, in Zurich, Canada, going back maybe six odd years.

Ray ChaayaGUEST
Yeah, I mean, one thing that I hadn't really talked about a lot was in February of 2020, I stepped into the role of head of employee experience.

Ray ChaayaGUEST
And I specifically remember that time because people kept saying to me, oh, you're getting the fun HR job, the fun HR job.

Ray ChaayaGUEST
It was all about making sure people... had employee engagement opportunities, and it was all about working with nonprofit organizations and creating volunteer opportunities for our employees.

Ray ChaayaGUEST
And I thought I was walking into like the dream job and it was all going to be just, you know, let's coast from here to retirement.

Ray ChaayaGUEST
And two weeks after I got the job, it was end of February and then we went into March.
