I got on that treadmill thoughtfully. I knew I was signing up for a big chunk of work, every week. In the beginning, that letter was how I spent my Sunday afternoons, mailed it out before dinner. When we got big enough to have a competent HR team, one of them pointed out to me that I was implicitly telling folks that Sunday afternoons were designated work time.
That was right. Afterwards, I still wrote 'em on Sunday, but waited until Monday morning to mail them. Don't blab that around!
