When I asked him the reason why, and he told me that when they saw USPS delivery guy were wearing USPS uniform in Tie Dyed and they thought that it was amazing and cool. Since then, they all agreed upon wearing tie dye shirts every Friday. It seems this kind of action is a small thing, but we think it is really important to think how we can work in a better environment and have fun at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"667\" width=\"1000\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sim-works.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC02859-1000x667.jpg?resize=1000%2C667&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54488\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it doesn\u2019t mean that they can get away from any troubles and problems when they make something.
