And if you put yourself out there online, it’s pretty much guaranteed you will encounter someone who is “not a fan” (and willing to leave that fact in a comment or DM or public forum), and has no shame letting you know exactly how they feel from the comfort of a place behind a screen.

Not that there’s anything wrong with serving others; when it comes to business, true service - no matter who you are or what you sell - is the one ingredient you can’t do without. However, this “employee culture” traps us in an endless cycle of people-pleasing and putting others’ needs above our own.
