I have been disillusioned. I cried in traffic, wiping tears with my sleeves. I was betrayed. I was interrupted and shut down. I was disappointed. I was falling to pieces…
…All this in the span of a few hours in my workday this morning.
I am not cut out for a world of business where we say whatever it takes to seal a deal, but we don’t mean any of it. I am not a person who views my coworkers as disposable, expendable. Lies. Bait and switch. Bullshit knee deep by 9 AM. Fake smiles over coffee. This kind of business world is not okay by me; this is not who I am.
I don’t know if people are born able to spew lies to reach their goals or if they learn to lie on the way up the ladder in the world of work. I don’t want to learn to lie and smile. I want to be authentic. I want to be human, be real, even at work.
