And so I think that's the biggest crisis that's

facing the modern day workplace right now.

Well, I mean, these are hard conversations.

I'd say I'm going to be loyal to my people.

I'm willing to cut my pay.

I mean, look at some of these CEOs.

It's so fascinating to me, right?

Like the millions and millions of dollars, not of just like cash, bonus, stock.

And you're like, OK, so who is the CEO who's willing to say I'm not going to take my pay?

paycheck for a year.

And instead, I'm going to make sure that I see this company through the crisis.

I mean, I'm sure there's like a few, but it's not something that people are often doing.

So that's really interesting.

Do you have a model where you have a fixed employee base and then everyone else is contracting?

Do you have a model where they're contractors and it's just you're re-upping people?

Like I can be loyal to you for the next two years because we have this project.

I mean, those are hard conversations, right?

But that's where the world is moving.

And so again, we go back to what you talked about in terms of building trust and repairing trust.

Loyalty is earned in terms of how you treat each other in the workplace.
