You’ll get all the folks you could ever need.
That is if you’re not in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to do for young folks, and an apartment costs $1,500 a month.

Some people are forgetting that employees have to show up on time, stay off their phones, work and not “walk the halls”. During our new employee probationary period, if you blow off a work day, you’re fired. Late two times without a call beforehand, you’re fired. Using work computers for porn or gambling, you’re fired no matter how long you’ve been there.
