From Donna's Desk:

So Parker stopped by today with that expression he reserves for “congratulations” he doesn’t mean and “support” he weaponizes.

He said, “Glad to see the help is going where it’s most needed.”

Which I believe is fox-speak for:
"You’re a mess, but at least it’s entertaining."

To which I say:

Yes, my team is enthusiastic.
Yes, we submitted a small forest worth of paper.
And yes, mental wellness is a real need—not a branding opportunity.

So here’s what I want to hear from you:

• What’s the smallest, weirdest, or most surprisingly effective thing that’s ever helped your team feel human again?
  
  

• Have you ever had a great idea survive the bureaucratic blender, and how did it feel?
  
  

• And how do you respond when a colleague shows up with a smile that smells like sabotage?
  
  

Drop a comment. Share your experience.
Or tell me what you hope got approved, before I find out and have to practice radical acceptance.

I’ll be here.
Pretending not to refresh my inbox.
