Joyce Bowen (crwriter): Thank you for your kind words and astute observations. I’m always grateful for your valuable feedback and engagement.

Unfortunately, you’re right about workplace retaliation being “The American Away” — shame on all the malevolent managers out there! Moreover, I’m not counting on management in corporate America or elsewhere being “woke” any time soon. Structural reform is needed from the top, as you profoundly pontificate.

Meanwhile, every little “dent” counts — at least hopefully.
