The level of stakes at some jobs are crazy.
Another example: if the powerpoint slides my team prepares for a board meeting are not pretty enough, my director might be sad.
I literally cannot tell the difference.

You're gonna be back in the PowerPoint mines if you don't fix your soft-hearted attitude.
