“One of our company’s main objectives is taking care of our people first, so if our people need days off, we have people in place to take care of that,” said General Manager Joseph Zazzarino, a resident of Hazlet. “We don’t have to be like, ‘No, you have to work.’ You need something for you, you have something special in your life, take it. You have a life; we want you to have a life. And that’s what we’re really all about.”
