People who leave their video on during lunch breaks are braver than any Marine and also making the rest of us uncomfortable.

Your product doesn't need AI. It really, truly doesn't.

Dear HR teams - making us do annual compliance training on videos that haven't been updated since 2015 is not the vibe you think it is.

Petition to ban the phrase 'circle back' from professional vocabulary. Just say when you'll actually get back to me.

If your automated email starts with 'I hope this finds you well,' I'm deleting it before I even see what you're selling.

The fact that companies can ask for references but we can't ask to speak to current employees before accepting a job is WILD.

Hot take: 'Fake it till you make it' advice works better for some people than others and we should probably talk about why.

Calling it 'rightsizing' instead of layoffs doesn't make anyone feel better. Just say what it is.

People who respond 'sounds good' to a message with 3 questions only answered ONE of them and it's chaos.

Objections aren't rejections. They're questions. 'It's too expensive' means 'I don't see the value yet.' Answer THAT question.

On behalf of everyone, PLEASE stop scheduling meetings to 'discuss the meeting we just had.' Just add 5 minutes to the first one.

Dear anyone sending a calendar invite - the meeting title should tell me what it's about, not just 'Catch up' or 'Sync.' Give us SOMETHING.

Performance reviews that surprise you are a management failure, not a you problem.

Stop scheduling 'working sessions' that are just regular meetings where we're all silently on our laptops.

Not every problem needs a task force. Sometimes you just need to make a decision.

Petition to end the practice of making new employees introduce themselves in all-hands meetings. It's terrifying and helps no one.

If you're afraid to ask about budget because it feels pushy, remember: wasting their time on a solution they can't afford is way worse than asking early.
