If you work at a company that actually supports you, then hustle can be a good thing. If you work at a company that needlessly exploits you, then you should be using your hustle somewhere else.

I work at a bakery. I do 10 hour shifts that are almost all hustle and hard work. It is by no means my dream job, but you know what?

- I have benefits, and I get paid pretty fairly.

- I have a positive work environment.

- I have a boss that has my back.

I am more than willing to hustle for her, pick up extra shifts, help out, come in for meetings on my days off. Good companies give back.

You too, fam. I still lurk around here and try to keep up. I just don't have much to say these days.

For what it’s worth, I miss your voice.

As an aside... this resonated with me. I’ve found it tough to find my hubski-voice recently...

Power through.

Seriously. "Uncomfortable silence" is the sound of too many people too nervous to talk.
