Issue No. 11 | Horror‑themed essays that examine workplace dynamics, early‑career challenges, AI influence, how language shapes reality, the gender pay gap, and other cultural narratives. We can all be the proverbial final girl through hard conversation, self‑reflection, and ethical action.

Issue No. 10 | The things we carry, the things we keep, the things we take care of and what they reveal about our emotional world. We all carry things with us—physical objects, generational moods like millennial melancholy, even feedback from a colleague. It’s part of what makes us who we are. And who we are is everything in how we approach and experience the world.

To fully understand ourselves, we have to unwind the systems that make us. That includes how performance reviews influence our futures and self-esteem. These antiquated processes stick around because the system maintains a semblance of fairness, is open to interpretation, and places the burden of proof on the less powerful party. But there's a better way to center individual, team, and company growth. So here's how we'd build a performance system from scratch.

Episode 8 of Dear EverMore is a must listen for any leader or manager who wants to know how to talk to their team with empathy when the news cycle is tough. We tackle the external structures, systems, and situations influencing workplace policies and the collective mood. It's a call for leaders to acknowledge that politics is in everything and resources on how to respond with care when the world gets heavy.

Episode 5 of Dear EverMore is about how power, identity, and carelessness create inane, weird, and horrifying workplace stories that can shape our futures. The hosts and listeners share tales that will make you laugh, cry, and gasp. Along the way you'll meet characters like the vampire, puppeteer, and the doppelgänger. Navigating the horrors around you to be the "final girl" of corporate is what EverMore is here for.

Episode 4 of Dear EverMore dives into the murky intentions of performance reviews and why they're not a reliable exercise. We talk about the anxieties and impossibilities of using reviews to serve competing needs like compliance, compensation, retention, and development. With so much on the line, everyone becomes a performer.

Over the next few years, I expect technology to outpace ethics, human creation to be novel, and a retreat from the grind into fractional, part-time, or even off-the-grid existences. A new world emerges — one that’s feminine, cooperative, connected, and shows reverence for the interdependence of humanity, including at the workplace.
