I am the kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. I grew up in a familialy dishonest context so being open and transparent has been my default.

That attitude is a liability at work and I’ve learned the hard way.

We’ve all heard the phrase don’t shit where you eat. In modern workplace cadence that means don’t use your workplace as your source of therapy or friends or certainly family.

The way we present yourselves at work has to intrinsically be a performance because that’s how money works.

Find another place to express emotions and thoughts and find friends. That place should not be the workplace.
