The Great Resignation — Why I Stopped Being a Corporate Slave

It was long overdue — The regular paycheques are nice, aren’t they? You’re certain that money drops at a particular time each month to cover what you need — mortgage payments, kids’ expenses, your cocaine habit, etc. Year after year the cheques come in, the bills are paid, and the soul is fucking crushed. I’m…

About Bogdan Tiganov

Welcome to my humble abode — These about profile things always seem a little corny, don’t they? Like a sales pitch wrapped in cotton candy. I’m going to interview myself. Who is Bogdan Tiganov? He is a human being, I think, but I don’t know him well enough to confirm. …

The Need for Speed — Why You’re Burning Out

Don’t get swept up — My wife was born into a different culture — in a Romanian village where the pace of life is adaptable to what is required. If the crops need taking care of fast, because of the weather, then you do it, fast. But if a meal is to be cooked for…

How We Got to Where We Are Today in the World of Work

Numbers over people — I’m not that old — I turned 40 recently — but I remember the days when work was more about what the individual could get out of it. “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” was not just hearsay it meant that you would grow into the job and…

Why I Absolutely Hate Writing

Just being honest — It’s time to own up: I’ve hated writing for years. In 2010 I left my job and decided to do a creative writing course and then, hopefully, teach others how to write. I had this fantasy about chin-stroking my way through life, guiding others to discover their inner masterpiece. I…

I’m Constantly Terrified — Is This Really the New Way of Living?

I’m tired of living with terror on a daily basis, aren’t you? Today, I might die from a deadly pandemic — hell, a trip to the supermarket might kill me — but I also might die from a nuclear war. What else might kill me today (as reported by everyone)? …

We, the Powerless

How often does it need to be confirmed? — The pandemic was a crushing blow to the lives and dreams of millions/billions. What it essentially proved, first hand, was that governments can do what they like, when they like. They can sell us narratives through their PR, media, or social media channels to create scenarios that suit them. And…

How To Survive Management

Play to win — I’ve had a lot of different managers over the years and it’s never easy for someone like me who, instinctively, hates authority and dislikes a hierarchical structure designed to make you feel inferior. But, hey, these are the systems widely accepted and you’re supposed to swallow them wholeheartedly (especially when…

Why Are Comic Books So Underrated?

So much more than pow, bang, wallop — This evening I thought I’d revisit a classic, the Daredevil Born Again storyline by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. And what did I find (considering it’s been two decades since I last read it)? I still love comics. I found poetic writing and incredible art which made me want to…

Workplace Culture — Why This Sickening Term Needs To Disappear Forever

Stop utopian exploitation of workers — When BLM was all over the media every company wanted to be supportive. So they posted something on LinkedIn and asked their employees what they wanted. Then… Silence. Every company, whether they sell toothpicks or software, now needs to sound relevant. Why? Because workplace culture. Workplace culture is like those…
