Thank you so much, David.

It's a pleasure to be here.

Absolutely.

Some people just don't even bother to show up to the party.

It also indicates they're not really showing up at work either.

They're just physically being there, but have checked out emotionally and mentally.

Right.

And from leadership, you know how it is when they show up, if they themselves gather together, which they have a tendency to do, create their own little party dynamic.

It is the indicator of their separation from what's really happening.

in the work that's going on day in and day out.

And so at the holiday party, there's just more evidence.

And the truth is the same reverse.

If leaders are engaged and they're up singing karaoke, if they're mingling around, it reveals the positive of things that are transpiring during the work week.

Listen, don't forget the squeeze cheese either.

You got to have that for the Ritz crackers.

It's the elevation of how much we value you or where we're at as a company.

It really is revealed at the party and people are taking note.

People, the employee base, the workforce is coming and they're getting even more information about what the future looks like at this present day party.

Everybody has pressure and stress, but it doesn't have to create a negative or toxic relationship base with each other.

And so you're looking for laughter.
