Is it finally time to balance the books? This story leaves me wondering what the ex-boyfriend could have done to deserve still being actively paying for his mistakes.

Conflicts about objects are rarely about objects, and this one is no exception.

Did they fire her cause her coworker got defensive, or was she just out of place? In some work environments, challenging authority might be celebrated or even encouraged. Think tech, entrepreneurship, and similar fields that value geniusness and are always on the lookout for the next best unapologetic persona. Still, even in those fields, the person has to find a way to challenge authorities without resorting to passive-aggressiveness or petty comments.

Is AI really helping us become better professionals, or is it making us lazier? I know this is a trite question, but I think it's still relevant due to the kinds of things that won't stop happening all around us.

When one mistake catapults extreme measures. Oftentimes, after we make a mistake, it’s very difficult to prove to somebody who’s in charge of us that we won't make that same mistake again.
