This was a potent reminder - thank you, Matthew. I have lived for so long with dysfunction, mismanagement and inequality in the workplace (a prestigious NIH-funded science facility) that I no longer recognize what a normal professional environment looks like. You are providing me with that through your writing here.
Erin, so glad to hear the post landed in some way. I can entirely relate to how "abnormal" becomes normalised in these environments. Important for us to come together to remember what healthy relationality and competence-based hierarchies looks like.
