Shout out to the micro-manager. Shout out to those not afraid of wasting your time. Shout out to the leaders not taking in any feedback. Shout out to those asking more from the people below them than they ask of themselves. Shout out to those who said they were remote companies during the pandemic and are now forcing people back to offices.
Strong stuff, Louie. Your writing just keeps getting better - really enjoyed this format. Thanks for having the guts to call out the leeches and bad actors. Those Taleb quotes hit the mark.
You hooked me in with the “shout out” opening. Was wondering where you were going with it. Nicely done, and thanks for the storytellimg tweet. Going to have a look at that more closely.
I couldn’t get it out of my head on a walk, thinking about how much of peoples time gets wasted at these firms and so on. But I feel grateful for having seen it up close, not upset. Had to write it.
Great read Louie! “The idea that you need to be employable” to be valuable is such a great way to capture the fear that motivates so many in the wrong way.
That out of the blue call to be added onto some random already ongoing MS Teams meeting gets me all the f***in' times!!!
Haha, you know what i’m talking about man.

I appreciate you saying that John. I am a big fan of your writing too. WoP alums taking over the writing game on the internet.
Each week we dig a little deeper.

It’s also fun to watch your own storytelling skills growing and these fun narratives becoming more and more a part of your writing.
Shout out to you, Louie
