In this episode of Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts, Darren breaks down a workplace case study involving communication, control, and the subtle ways power can move through corporate systems. What looks like a simple email — complete with a smiley face — can sometimes reveal deeper issues around ownership, visibility, psychological safety, and equity in recognition. This episode uses critical thinking to examine how workplace behavior connects to DEI beyond the surface level, especially when it comes to inclusion, attribution, and the right to contribute without being quietly diminished. If you’ve ever felt like your work was being reframed, repackaged, or overshadowed, this conversation will hit home.
