      "countByRating": [
        { "rating": 0, "count": 0 },
        { "rating": 1, "count": 1 },
        { "rating": 2, "count": 0 },

  ]
}
```

## Response Fields

Each `employees` entry contains an `employee` object with the staff member name and `countByRating` entries with `rating` and `count`.

## Notes

* Employee phone numbers are removed from responses. Refer to employees by name only.
* Only provide a phone number as an input when the user explicitly supplied it to distinguish employees with the same name.
* Rating `0` represents Facebook recommendations without a star value, not zero-star reviews.
* `employee` can be `null` (reviews with no identifiable assisted staff member), and even when present, `employee.lastName` can independently be `null` while `firstName` is set. Handle both fields defensively rather than assuming they're always populated.
* The `employees` array is not sorted by review count or rating in testing — sort client-side if a "top employee" view is needed.
