Hi team,
“Hard work spotlights the character of people. Some turn up their sleeves. Some turn up their noses, and some don’t turn up at all.” —Sam Ewing
In light of Labor Day, I share this quote because I am so proud to be leading an organization where every day, everyone turns up their sleeves. You show up. You do what it takes to get the job done. And you support each other.
That is what makes our organization great. So thank you for always having your sleeves rolled up. Now it’s time to put your feet up and relax! Have a great weekend everyone!

Hey team,
Before we head out for Labor Day weekend, I just want to express my appreciation for all of you—for not only living up to the challenges each day brings, but also for doing so in a way that exemplifies our core values.
It is for this reason that your work fuels not just our goals and objectives, but our overall mission. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to your personal goals, our organizational goals, and to building a culture of respect. Keep up the awesome work, have a great weekend, and see you next week!

The backbone of any organization is its team—and the backbone of every team is its individuals. Each one of you brings a unique set of qualities, skills, and perspectives to the table, and you support one another. Because of this dynamic, our company is so much more than the sum of its parts, and we’re setting and achieving goals we didn’t think were possible.
So in honor of Labor Day, I want to say thank you for the energy you bring and your commitment to our mission and values. Get some rest and do something fun this weekend—you deserve it!
