Some masks aren’t acts – they’re adaptations that get rewarded. But that doesn’t mean they don’t cause harm. This post is from my latest blog on neuro-play, soft power & emotional camouflage in Traitor-style workplaces itsnadine.online/traitors-in-...

People talk about meritocracy as if it’s real. But success can be a liability when comfort matters more than competence. Some systems protect feelings, not fairness.
