One thing that I learned going to school with rich yt kids & something COVID has hammered home is people with a lot of privilege are shielded from their poor decisions thus are terrible at risk assessment. They don’t need to be in charge but that’s all they want & they get it.
The ice cream never melts, the cakes are fresh out of the oven, and the world is bathing in light. The day is young, but there are shadows creeping in. RIP, the great Wayne Thiebaud.
one of the difficult truths about almost every org is lots of good people work under bad/misguided leaders and stay there to attempt to make things better
this is especially true at “mission-driven” orgs, where speaking out or leaving is seen as a betrayal to the mission. you don’t want to undermine all the good work we’re doing do you?
