Photo by Andrea Piacquadio The manner in which senior management behaves within the complex framework of corporate structures has a substantial impact on the operations and culture of the organisation. But when moral boundaries become unclear, it has a cascading effect on project management and resources, compromising the integrity of the entire arrangement. When senior management takes money from the office for the benefit of themselves or incompetent employees, that is an abuse of trust and moral principles. Such activities not only threaten the company's financial viability but also foster an environment of incompetence and favouritism. There are numerous implications; this practice of using resources to assist incapable workers upsets the meritocracy balance in the workforce. It is possible that competent resources may be unfairly pressured or criticised for not providing the same level of help, which could demoralise them. Moreover, the practice of incompetent project managers...

Photo by Vera Arsic Not every thread in the complex tapestry of human relationships builds a lovely design. Occasionally, a relationship that appears to be a safe haven of affection can gradually turn toxic and cause a great deal of emotional distress. It takes a great deal of courage and self-respect to walk away from such an entanglement, but doing so is the first step towards regaining one's peace and dignity.   How to Identify Toxicity  Sometimes toxic relationships hide behind a façade of love, making it difficult to see the negative dynamics. Some obvious indicators of toxicity include persistent skepticism, emotional in-and-out behaviour, emotional abuse wrapped in humour, emotional manipulation, and a generalized feeling of unhappiness. In a relationship, feeling constantly exhausted, nervous, or undervalued are also signs that things are unhealthy.   Introspection Reflection becomes essential prior to making the decision to depart. It's critical to co...

An abandoned railroad station was located far from the town, hidden away in the middle of a forest. However, a strange train would occasionally arrive at the station at the stroke of midnight once a month.
