Supposedly this is a serious article, but to me it reads like satire.

Better than a ‘Stan’.

Kabish? Think Middle East.

Don’t bring your work home and don’t bring your home to work.
You’ll have a better life.

"We've moved beyond the old-school idea that professionalism means leaving emotion at the door," she says. "In today's world, emotional intelligence (??) is a strength, not a liability."
