Rugged Outfitters Response
7yOne of the things about working in a laid-back business environment is that teamwork often builds out-of-work friendships which, as you mentioned, can culminate in things like babysitting gigs and getting rides with a coworker. We're sad you construed these things as favoritism -- something that's frowned upon in our workplace. The only "favoritism" we like to display these days shows up in bonus checks at the end of the year for team-player employees with a great work ethic.
While we haven't yet implemented a company-wide retirement investment program, we have revamped our Employee Handbook and upped our game in the HR department to ensure everyone has access to all the information they need. On top of this, office management is always available to discuss issues that need attention to ensure our employees never feel the need to vent online instead of in person.
Thanks for the time you put in with us, and good luck in your future endeavors!
