It's December 1 - today, start practicing leaving your job on time so you have the habit established by January 1, 2026. If that's not possible, start taking your lunch on time (and as soon as you can - start leaving on time). Stop giving these workplaces your free time.

Renewers, I'm sharing more signals of #GOTCHA Culture, which interrupts employee success and places workers in lose/lose situations. In this part, we're exploring:
#Confusion (#Chaos)
#Haste
#Apathy
