Baby names aren’t just personal choices; they reflect culture, geography, gender, identity, and as i've been investigating, politics too. I’ve been analyzing 50 years of U.S. baby naming to see how they map onto political polarization in the U.S.

Buffering: The Unspoken Labor of Protective Managers
Every organization relies on buffers: the managers who absorb chaos, protect their teams, and keep the gears turning. Their care holds things together, but also keeps broken systems intact.

My Op-Ed in the Atlanta Journal Constitution dropped this morning! Check it out! www.ajc.com/opinion/2025...
Trust is listed as a core value in workplaces, but it can often be weaponized
Trust and loyalty are valued by employers, but these values can be used as weapons of control, as shown in the cases of the CDC's Susan Monarez and the FBI's James Comey.

Communions of Crisis: How “Fighting Fires” at Work Has Become the New Trust Fall
Workplace crises don’t just test our strength. They sustain the very systems that exploit it, turning teamwork into dependency, chaos into culture, and suffering into proof of loyalty.

My latest Work Fails post breaks down some of the key concepts of the book, most notably "flash intimacy." Specifically, I show how the mechanisms of flash intimacy work together to trap talented people in unfulfilling roles.
