Let’s be honest:
A lot of what we call “professional” at work is just burnout in a suit.
Micromanagement.
Glorifying overworking.
24/7 availability.
Endless meetings.
Hidden salaries.
Candidate ghosting.
None of this equals high performance — it just drains people.
As we move toward 2026, it’s time to stop normalizing behaviors that don’t serve the future of work.
Better leadership starts with better standards.
