I mean, who would want any disengaged employees? Okay, I agree: it would be great to have all your employees going home every day thinking to themselves, “Wow, this is an awesome job!

Or how almost exactly a year ago I wrote about mental health stigma and how it seems to be much worse for older people than younger ones? And then I proceed to pretty much not write about mental health at all? Probably not, since nobody really reads blogs anymore.
