And if the sirens are loud enough, suddenly traffic laws, civic equality, taxpayer dignity, and common sense all become “adjustable.” Yesterday, I accidentally offended the Indian establishment in the most dangerous way possible: I drove faster […]
Opening Truth April is called Stress Awareness Month in the workplace. Which usually means: A few emails. A poster. Maybe a workshop. And then… back to business.
