There was a not-bad post yesterday about talking about feelings at work: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11070056" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11070056</a>. I don&#x27;t know that I&#x27;d want to have a formal check-in process, but I look forward to the day when the barriers between emotional and professional expression aren&#x27;t so rigid. It seems obvious that we&#x27;re headed that way.<p>Imagine that you actually could &quot;call out to work because [you&#x27;re] feeling extra anxious one day&quot;. What else would be different?
