The Key to Healthy Conversation Involves Avoiding These 3 Mistakes
An enemy of dialogue is an enemy of mine.
Here’s what happened
Our story begins with a lady who’s about twice my age who I found myself engaged in conversation with on LinkedIn.
I mention the age gap because I can only guess she thought she could talk the way that she did to me because I have “Gen Z” in my profile.
Anyway, truth be told, it wasn’t actually much of a conversation.
Someone I follow who provides sound, no-nonsense advice and truth made a post about work. One of the things he said was:
“Employers don’t care about you.”
It sounds silly by itself, but he mentioned other things like how they can lay you off at any moment and that statements along the lines of “we are family” can be used to convince you to do things like overwork yourself.
This lady left a comment about how most of what he said was right, except for the fact that “small business owners do care about you.” A LOT, she said.
While I can see where she might’ve been coming from, I offered a different perspective.
