You defend the people above you because some part of you believes you're about to become one of them. One promotion. One good review. One equity round, and you cross over.

You were taught that, carefully, for decades. Work hard enough and stay positive enough and the door opens. It's the most effective thing ever built for keeping workers quiet, and it never needed any technology at all.

Most of us will not cross over. The belief that we might is the whole point.

You defend the people above you because some part of you believes youre about to become one of themStop working late to fix other peoples poor planning.The 9-to-5 schedule became the standard for white-collar work because it made supervision easier.The job interview is theater. You know it. They know it.Close your eyes. See yourself in that role. Not someday. Now. How do you carry yourself?In 2007, a 22-year-old Mark Zuckerberg told a Stanford audience that young people are simply smarterIm not an artist. I dont draw, I dont paint.At some point, what you know stopped being knowledge and became armor.Someone asked me recently what to do if they cant afford to stop performing.True power moves from stillness. Real productivity flows from presence.I thought I was being helpful. My colleague said I was being domineering.Stop working late to fix other peoples poor planning.
