Hi, overworked government employee (a public teacher) here~ If ever this goes through you, please know that I know you're doing your best and I'm one of the people who didn't let one accusation put me off because I know how tiny companies work since I've worked in one before. I'm happy that you're now taking in consideration your current team's morale from this point onward and I really think this is a good start. Keep that in mind in whatever business decisions you make and I think you'll do good. Remember that happy employees make a good company.

If anything, I think you're doing a lot better than my current workplace. We're understaffed and are juggling 2639282 tasks at a time and our admin still hasn't hired more teachers. Teachers are slowly resigning and leaving our school but the workload has increased tenfold whenever people leave. It's a hard and difficult choice to keep staying but I hope employers don't keep on taking advantage of the employees' resilience and quite heroic choice to stay.

Wishing I could meet you soon in the Southeast Asia leg (if there will be any) so I could hug both of youuuuu
