Wisdom Wednesday – Be Nice To Workers

It’s really quite simple…

Wisdom Wednesday – The Agitator’s Prayer?

I repeatedly hear people say some variation of: “You should only worry about things within your control”. I hear it at work.  In politics.  In the labour movement.  In memes and Internet posts.
