I'm lucky enough to work for a manager who believes the same thing too. So does the VP we all report to. I think we're the only group out of like 1000 people in the building that really love our jobs. Go figure. Amen sister.

(Yeah, can you tell I just got done doing performance reviews?) Oh how true. In our world, we focus on what’s wrong.
