When performance is measured against curated feed of perfection
Have you been to a performance review that inevitably ends up comparing you to popular Joe, charismatic Jackie or high performing Jack? Most formal performance reviews have sections where employees are compared sideways against peers within and outside their departments. Definition of a “peer” here is largely determined by a line manager who is assumed to have the power of veto to be able to understand the term, its correct application and most importantly the ramifications of its misuse. The review fails to appreciate that the line manager is just another fallible human being with no previous “human psychology” training.

"The Lion and the Mouse"
The Lion and the Mouse Where Even the Smallest Can Make a Big Difference Once upon a time, in the heart of a golden savanna, there lived a mighty lion named Barafu. He was the undisputed king of the land — strong, proud, and feared by all. His roar could silence the wind, and his stride shook the ground. Animals gave him space, and none dared challenge his rule.

Rommi's Top Stories
Well... I want to open this pillar post by admitting that we're all tied to the pillar, in a manner of speaking. Each of us, I hope, has something in our life that is more important than writing. Or, perhaps, many things. This is the pillar to which our work is tied. Chained, even. Me, I wouldn't have it otherwise, as I explained in the Rommentary to my song On Your Way.

Strength in Silence: Finding Hope Amid Suffering
The fleeting nature of time, the weight of suffering, and the uncertainties of life often press down upon us with unyielding force. Yet, from the depths of history and human experience, voices rise to remind us of a different path—a path of quietness, trust, and hope. Figures like Jochen Klepper and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who faced unspeakable trials, and the timeless wisdom of the prophet Isaiah, offer us a profound way forward in our struggles.
