We're all for a good conversation about compensation but we’d recommend it to NOT be at one of the places shared in this video. 😂 Remember conversations about 💰 can be intimidating.

Give it up for our July Game Changers! Where would we be without our amazing Bambooligans? And we've got #olympics on the brain so we asked our winners... Do you prefer summer ☀️ or winter ❄️ olympics, and why? Amy Larsen: ☀️They are both good for different reasons but because summer olympics is right around the corner, I’d have to say summer. I love watching gymnastics, diving and I have my fingers crossed for Caitlin Clark! Rielle L.: ❄️ Winter, I did competitive speed skating growing up, so I know a lot more about winter sports and it's rare special screen time for them. Brett Johnson: ☀️ Summer, I like to watch basketball and the sprinters. Kyle Rios: I don't really watch the olympics, but my friend Tyler said to choose the winter olympics because he loves to watch snowboarding. 😂 Linda Mathusek McNutt: ☀️ I like the variety of the summer olympics! Gymnastics, diving, running, are all incredible to watch. I also really dislike being cold, and that may have an impact. Thank you to this amazing group for all you do!!

While creeping on the competition, we noticed our friends over at HiBob landed an admirable #2. 🎉 Got us wondering who was #1...wait...I see it now. 🧐
