no one is doing it like jimmy butler and james harden. “requesting a trade” isn’t enough. fly to a country that despises your boss and call him a liar to a group of children. record a video with a young employee to call out your employer. never let them predict your next move
“see that? i gave you a compliment. that’s what bosses do. we build you up, we don’t break you down.”
