TL;DR

• One Lie' is that we think people want feedback when they need attention
  Ashely's thesis is that we mess up the employee experience by consistently failing to look at how people are "before all the dealer options."
• In a lively back-and-forth, Dani and Stacia dialog with Ashley to test his theories in the light of all that's happened in the past three years around a changing digital/hybrid work experience.
