My Morning Secret
Nobody knew I was waking up at 5:30 AM. Not my roommate who thought I was still the person who hit snooze seven times. Not my coworkers who saw me arrive at 9 AM looking like I'd rolled out of bed ten minutes earlier. Not even my best friend who knew almost everything about me.

Quiet Firing
I kept reading all these stories about “quiet firing” and then it happened to me. I lived it every single day I came to work; yeah, I later realized that I was a DEI hire.

Money is one of the most misunderstood forces in the world. People chase it, fear it, respect it, waste it, worship it, judge it, and dream about it — all at the same time. Some say money is the root of all evil. Some say money is freedom. Some act like money doesn’t matter. But deep down, everyone knows the truth:
