Hi, you’ve reached Lawyerist. We stepped away from our desks—yes, all of us—so please leave your message after the beep and we’ll get back to you. Yep, you read that right. We’re all out of the office until July 8. We all know how important it is for people to get out of their work routines and take time off. Yet, because our team is full of hardworking and helpful people, when their colleagues were working, they felt pulled to do the same—even when out on PTO. So, we're shutting down the whole company so our team can truly rest and recharge. We preach the need to create healthy businesses and healthy teams, and this is one of the ways we’re living out that value. Check out this article to learn more about our decision and how we made it happen. https://hubs.ly/Q02Dr8gz0 See you next week!
