Open to nothing I have a job. It is fine. It pays. I am not looking, I am not networking, and I am not thrilled. I built this instead of updating my résumé and I regret nothing except the hours.
About
I run this website.

For nine years I wrote the other kind of post. I announced that I was thrilled. I was humbled and honoured. I once published eight hundred words about what a taxi driver taught me about pipeline management. He taught me nothing. He wanted me to stop talking.

I was good at it, and I would like that on the record. I became genuinely excellent at saying nothing in a confident voice, and it worked, and it got me promoted twice.

Then I was made redundant by a man who used the phrase “strategic realignment” four times in six minutes. I went home, read my own profile from top to bottom, and could not find one true sentence on it.

So I do this now. I collect the honest versions and I publish the ones that are funny. I want to be clear that I am not better than anybody I make fun of here. I am one of them who happens to own a domain.

Founder & Editor

Thrilled to Announce • Self-employed, in the loosest possible sense
2026 – Present • Evenings and one bad weekend
  • Read strangers’ worst working weeks and decide which ones are funny. This is a strange thing to be good at and I did not choose it.
  • Revenue: none. Business model: none. Exit strategy: none. I have finally achieved the full startup trifecta.
  • Publish under a false name because I would like to remain employable — which is, by some distance, the most honest sentence on this website.
  • Reject roughly 80% of submissions, almost always because someone named their actual manager. Please stop naming your actual manager.

Director of Brand Storytelling

Vertex Global • Full-time
Jan 2021 – Nov 2025 • 4 yrs 11 mos
  • Wrote 340 posts about authenticity, under someone else’s name, for a CEO who never read a single one of them.
  • Invented the phrase “radical candour framework.” It means nothing. It entered the employee handbook in 2023 and it is still in the employee handbook. I am sorry.
  • Announced two rounds of layoffs using the word “journey.” Was included in the third.
  • Made redundant by a man who said “strategic realignment” four times in six minutes and then asked whether I had any questions. I had one. He did not answer it.

Senior Content Manager

Halcyon Systems
Mar 2017 – Jan 2021 • 3 yrs 11 mos
  • Turned a 2% price increase into an email titled “Exciting Changes to Your Plan.” It reached 11,000 people. Not one of them was excited.
  • Ghost-wrote a six-part thought leadership series on work-life balance, working eleven-hour days to finish it on deadline.
  • Won an industry award for a campaign I know for a fact did not work.

Communications Assistant

A mid-sized firm you have not heard of
Sep 2014 – Mar 2017 • 2 yrs 7 mos
  • Where I learned that if you say something sufficiently vague with sufficient confidence, at least three people will forward it to their team.
  • I have never recovered from learning this and neither, frankly, has the industry.
Licenses & Certifications
Certified Thought LeaderSelf-certified, 2019. There is no governing body. There is no examination. I made the badge in a design tool during a meeting.
Advanced Storytelling for EnterpriseA two-day course costing $2,200. Day one was about the hero’s journey. Day two was also about the hero’s journey.
Skills
Corporate LanguageNative or bilingual proficiency. I dream in it now. It is not a gift and I would like to give it back.
Saying Nothing, At LengthEndorsed by 61 people, none of whom finished reading the post they were endorsing.
Radical Candour FrameworkI invented this. It is meaningless. It is in your handbook. I think about this most days.
Self-AwarenessAcquired late, involuntarily, and at speed. Extremely inconvenient. Cannot recommend.

Submitted a post • Has never met Delila
Delila published my post without editing a single word, which is the only professional courtesy anyone has extended to me in fourteen months. I do not know her real name. I do not need to know her real name.
Interests
Other people’s honesty. My own, eventually. The specific silence in a meeting after someone accidentally says something true.

Please read before sending

  • No real names. Not your boss, not your colleagues, not your company. Invent them. Half the fun is a good fake company name anyway.
  • Nothing that identifies you. If your team would recognise the story, change the details until they wouldn't.
  • No accusations of crimes or wrongdoing against real, identifiable people or businesses. This is a comedy site, not a whistleblowing channel — those need a lawyer, not a joke.
  • Nothing under NDA. Do not send us anything confidential from your employer. We will not publish it and you should not risk it.
  • Keep it under 200 words. Brevity is most of the joke.

By sending something you agree it can be published here anonymously, edited for length and clarity, or not published at all. Nothing is guaranteed. We don't pay, because nobody has ever paid us either. We don't keep a mailing list and we won't contact you for anything other than your submission.

If work is genuinely making you unwell, please talk to someone you trust or a professional. This inbox is a joke inbox and cannot help with that.
