Synopsis
The majority of our adult life is spent "working".
Sadly, for one too many, the workplace can be a soul-crushing environment. While few workplace suffering ends up in tragedies such as suicide or mental breakdowns, the accumulation of a million incivilities and invisibilities often result in individuals becoming smaller versions of who they had hoped they could be.
While it is easy to agree in-principle that one "ought to" work towards creating workplaces that are suffering-free, many are suspicious that compassion is the antidote. But what if it is one of the most radical and surest paths to creating workplaces where individuals may truly flourish and do their best work?
If this question piques your curiosity, come and join the conversation, and make up your own mind.
