Have Workplaces Become Battlefields?

Step into any modern office, and you might feel more like you’re in an episode of Game of Thrones than a thriving professional environment. Deadlines replace dialogue, emails become weaponized, and collaboration takes a back seat to competition. Is this the natural evolution of work—or a dangerous detour?😯😐
The corporate world is often painted as "primitively destructive," thriving on a “survival of the fittest” mindset. But maybe, just maybe, the real issue lies deeper. Have we raised a generation that’s hyper-aware of self but oblivious to team? Fueled by filtered realities and social media likes, many walk into offices with inflated egos and the emotional range of a Greek god—powerful yet petulant.
So, has the workplace culture truly devolved—or are we simply witnessing the ripple effects of raising self-centric individuals who find discomfort in humility and strength in dominance?
It's a tough mirror to hold up, but one we must if we want to humanize work again. This is where YOU, the parent, steps in as the caped crusader. Let’s not let boardrooms turn into battlegrounds, because that's where we wish to see our children in the near future and we want them emotionally and mentally safe.
