On this day in our shared history, The Tortured Employees Department was founded. Fed up with toxic culture perpetuating our livelihoods. We stand up against bullying and being a silent bystander to abusive behavior. This POAP is proudly held by those souls who: -Stand up to workplace bullying -Advocates of a psychologically safe workplace -Victims of workplace abuse -Those of us who wish for a better tomorrow We pledge to stand up to workplace discrimination, harassment, gaslighting and any of the like. Come as you are, stay to heal, leave to continue the mission of being wildly intolerant to bullies. POAP Song: Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? -Taylor Swift

It was a seasonably warm December in Northern Virginia, we may have met at a Christmas party at the Renwick Gallery, or a play at Ford's Theater. Chances are the lights were glimmering, the music was cheery and strangers were making memories. It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance this season! -A Reven
