At ASITP we take pride in not crunching while still finishing our projects on time to quality that is up to our standards. A lot of that has to do with knowing how & when to say "no".
Quote Tweet
Many problems–several affecting worker welfare–occur because someone, at some point, didn’t say “no”. Read @AShellinthePit's latest article, "No" Tact, on the Audiokinetic blog.
