The business of being present is knowing the reward isn't of monetary value. We seem to be a rewinding mode. We're going back to our old workplace habits. Bosses want more hours without paying more. The excuse is based on not having a full staff. Fewer people means fewer guests and clients are being served so the company isn't pulling in the high dollar signs like 2019. Real people. Dedicated people. Loyal people are saying, "No More." While those who've chosen to down with the ship are clinging to their lungs during a final breath. Know who you are. Not who they want you to become. Own your now. Being present gives you the power of decision making. Be valuable to yourself first.
