Hey y’all, welcome to this week’s edition of Weekend Reflections, where I talk about what went down at work, the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Highs: I got to leave early on Monday, and that felt like winning the lottery. Especially since I’m coming back on Friday for some extra training with the weekend crew.
Lows: Let’s be real—work is work. We don’t need to be besties. Just do the job and go home. It’s not that deep. So when I see coworkers getting into petty arguments about XYZ, I’m over here like, Do you really have the energy to argue about this? I mean, come on. There’s work to do, and we get paid to do it—not to debate who’s right.
I had a conversation with a friend at work, and I passed along one of the best pieces of advice my mentor gave me early on: Never say anything you wouldn’t want the whole department to know. Trust me, it’ll get around. So, be mindful of how, when, and where you speak. It’ll save you a headache later.
