This particular batch of thoughts is about the thing that is freaking you out the most right now at work (feel free to ping me and share your thoughts, which will be posted anonymously or with attribution—whichever you desire):

  2. “Whether we will be ready to comply with the SEC’s proposed climate-change rules by the effective date.” – Alexandra Daddario Doe
  3. “Why is it so overwhelmingly busy all of the time?!” – Biz Markie Doe
  4. “The impact of inflation on margins.” – Hank Aaron Doe
  5. “For me, it’s a resource issue. We are down a number of people on our team and it’s creating all sorts of difficulties getting things done.” – Cicely Tyson Doe
  6. “Whether I will have to return to the office on a full-time basis.” – Charles Barkley Doe
  7. “The SEC’s climate-change rules, if they are adopted and survive litigation. Sea change in terms of SEC disclosure philosophy. Going beyond even the remote bounds of reasonableness.” – Michael Jackson Doe
  8. “ESG. Who would think an acronym could bring me to tears? It’s just been such a wild three or four years and it’s hard to keep up with the last set of changes. And then boom, here comes the biggest yet.” – Percy Jackson Doe
