The intuition sometimes tells precisely how one gets shattered when the injustice happens self, while it is not the same vice versa.

My boss accidentally shared his screen during a Zoom meeting, exposing an Excel sheet titled "Q4 Termination Logistics." My name was at the very top of the list, highlighted in red and marked for a "performance-based" layoff effective this coming Friday.
I sat frozen, staring at my webcam, trying to keep my face completely blank while he continued reviewing the budget numbers as if nothing was wrong.
Boss: “Alright team, we need to ensure maximum efficiency over the next forty-eight hours. No mistakes.”
Me: “Understood. The cloud migration is on track for Thursday morning.”
Boss: “Excellent. We're counting on you.”
I’ve been working eighty-hour weeks for nine months, destroying my mental health to hit this deployment deadline.

Un cousin avait un problème. Un ami devait payer son loyer. Une tante avait besoin d’aide.
Il répondait présent chaque fois qu’il le pouvait.
Mais le jour où il a dit : « Désolé, je n’ai rien cette fois-ci », on lui a répondu :
« Tu as changé depuis que tu travailles ! »
Il a souri. Il venait de comprendre que son salaire avait créé des attentes qu’il n’avait jamais promises.
Moralité : ne laisse pas les attentes des autres devenir tes obligations permanentes.
