While working on this project, I realized all companies take different (very different) approaches to their company culture video. Some prefer to have the videos feel more like employment promotions, where they are encouraging people to apply and straight up telling them why by including things like insurance and dental information or vacation policy.

Yes, your response to my request is fine. There''s a whole lot of yes going around. The problem? Only about 1/2 of the "yes" responses are followed up with action that is representative of all of us living up to the commitment we made. That''s why you need to say "no" more. We say "yes" in the workplace when we want to say "no". Say "no" and tell people how the request could be modified to get to "yes".
