Everyday Stories, Lived

Work

  • Always wanting never getting

    We were taught that it’s free to dream. And we can dream about anything!  As you begin to imagine all the things you want to have and become, you always think about all the good things.

  • Ghosting (workplace edition)

    Ghosting became a popular term around 2015, often used to describe a person who suddenly ends all communications without any notice. It’s been used around personal relationships and employment.

    Different people, different tracks. While others are called to become entrepreneurs and freelancers, some are called to be employees. And as an employee who has worked for different people and organizations for four years now, I realized that being accountable at work not only drives growth and learning but also fosters trust and reliability.

  • Excuses

    Hearing someone give excuses about why they have yet to do the work assigned to them, which was supposed to be turned over after a specific timeframe, the reasons only become wildly unreasonable. Because when working in an output-based job, it’s the employee’s responsibility to manage one’s time and deliver on or before schedule. When Read more
