š„Choose Boredom, You Must
No drama. No reaction. Just Jedi-level calm that freaks out the pot-stirrers.

Buying Cannabis Online Is Now Legal, And Incredibly Convenient
Thanks to changing laws buying THC online is now 100% federally legal.
And when it comes to quality, reliability and ultimate convenience, Mood is leading the wayā¦
Because, instead of memorizing confusing strain names ā you simply choose how you want to feel: Creative, Social, Focused, Relaxed, Happy, Aroused, and more.
What's up, drama dodgers,
Ever notice how some coworkers treat you like a mix between their therapist and the audience of a very low-budget reality show? Youāre just trying to get coffee, and suddenly youāre holding space for someoneās weekend meltdown, divorce updates, and cat custody battle, all before 9 AM.
Your workplace has people whoāve turned stirring shit into performance art. They donāt just thrive on chaos, they farm it. They milk drama like itās a KPI and expect you to churn the butter.
Today's Survival Topic: Grey Rocking - The Art of Being Professionally Boring
š§Ø THE RANT
āStrategic Greyā
Grey rocking isnāt just surviving, itās a goddamn art form. Itās going so emotionally neutral that the drama junkies bounce off you like youāre coated in Teflon.
They come for your reaction. They want your outrage, your panic, your juicy cortisol rush. You give them nothing. You become Agreeable Grey (#A49E8D) - a freshly painted office wall they canāt get a rise out of, no matter how hard they stare.
āOh my God, did you hear what they said in the meeting?ā
āHmm.ā
āThatās it?ā
āYep.ā
āYou donāt care?ā
āNope.ā
And you can see their drama machine seize up. They came for a buffet of chaos, and you handed them a single unsalted cracker.
Truth Be Toldā¦
Drama addicts are emotional black holes that need your engagement to fuel their chaos engine. Cut off their supply of reactions, and they'll migrate to more responsive victims.
Every time they ambush you with unsolicited personal crises, they're fishing for validation, advice, or just someone to witness their latest meltdown. Stop being their audience, and they'll find another theater.

Bother me, you will not.
š DATA THEY HOPE YOU IGNORE
Here's the financial carnage your company doesn't want you calculating:
Hogan Assessments estimates that 6% of the global workforce behaves in a toxic manner, and US companies could save $292 billion in 2025 by avoiding toxic hires. That's not a typo, nearly $300 billion lost annually because companies would rather tolerate workplace terrorists than deal with them.
A company would need to hire four superstars (top 5% employees) just to offset the damage caused by one toxic employee. While superstars generate revenue, toxic employees cost their total compensation plus all the soft costs, burnout, turnover, and productivity collapse across entire teams.
According to Harvard, a single toxic employee costs a company $12,500 in lost productivity per year, but that's just the visible damage. The real cost includes the talented people who quit rather than deal with workplace drama, the projects that fail due to team dysfunction, and those who leave because the company culture is bleeding through every interaction.
