- What Happier at Work means to Lisa Marie

‘’The expectation that I had in law enforcement when I showed up on the job was people expected me to be compassionate and not competent. Because in my female body, the expectation was that I would be compassionate. And yet, when they got somebody direct, they were like, hey, that doesn’t compute with my brain.’’ – Lisa Marie Platske.
