I will not play a part.

( This is where I work.[1] )

Today, my hardest-working coworker gave her two week notice. It was freeing, for me. When I sit and stew too long, I start wanting to rescue my poor coworkers who are stuck here as I am not. Today I remembered that they are not either. The only people who are even possibly stuck here are the bosses, who aren't destroying their department on purpose, but obviously don't know how to change it.

And they're not actually stuck either.

I've asked the boss for a lunch date to talk a little about what it might take to make this a happy workplace again. Because I'm walking away, so I got nothing to fear. But I would like to see it work well, if it could. Anywhere can be better.
