My first job out of graduate school was as a first year associate in a Wall Street investment bank whose last of the 10 corporate values they printed in their annual report was, “Have fun!” Sadly, I did not. Decades later, it remains the worst place I ever worked or have seen other people working in in 20 years of leadership development work.

How that water is pressure controlled and directed is critical to the overall performance of a water circulation system, especially when heated water is involved.

When asked why they feel that way, they say that it would be unethical, immoral, and make them vulnerable to criticism.
