Keep It Quiet

Last night, around 9pm,
after everyone on the team
had worked 12 hours plus
for the fifth day in a row,
the sh** started hitting the fan.

You see,
when you’re not well rested,
your brain usually shuts off
non-essential thinking.

One piece of thinking
is the ‘should I really say this?’ filter.
Exhausted co-workers are often
brutally honest co-workers.

Except that while this thinking
isn’t needed for physical survival,
it IS necessary for corporate survival.

Last night,
relationships were damaged.
These relationships may never be repaired.

If you’re tired,
it is best to
keep to yourself
and keep your mouth shut.
