Boss treated me to lunch on Thursday… but also exposed my ‘hungry ghost’ mode on camera 👻📸
Halfway through the meal, he joked that I’m a “big eater.” Then added that I’m the only one who dares to say nasty things back to him—and he doesn’t get angry about it.
He laughed.I smiled too.
But honestly? That didn’t sit right with me.
Because behind that “joke” is the reality: when all the pressure, problems, and mess get thrown onto one person, of course that person is going to speak up. Of course they’re going to push back.
It’s not about being “nasty”. It’s about being human.
Respect isn’t just about tolerating someone who speaks up. It's about understanding why they have to.
Sometimes the loudest voice in the room isn’t the problem. It’s the result of everything that’s been quietly piling up.
