Quotes:
“What’s your culture saying? How do we define it? What does your pricing look like? Is it supportive of being able to bring employees? If not, let’s work with that first.” [Katie, 9:23]
“I think workers are getting smarter [about] what their rights are. The younger they get, they know exactly what’s due to them and what their rights are, and good for them.” [Katie, 14:01]
“I think if you really put the work in ahead of time and hire fast and fire slow… I am not saying it the other way around. I am not messing up. Hire quickly because you know exactly who you need to have.” [Katie, 20:50]
