Chief Morale Officer (CMO) Jupiter (“Juju” to his coworkers) joined the company four years ago after being adopted from Skiatook Paws & Claws Animal Rescue and has basically been running the place ever since. He comes to work every day ready to greet visitors, supervise meetings he wasn’t invited to, and remind employees to take snack breaks. While his work ethic becomes questionable after 2 PM, his office morale contributions are unmatched. When he’s not busy overseeing the office or occasionally barking during important phone calls, he can usually be found napping under his mom's desk.
