Dear All Staff, It has been more than a year since the coronavirus pandemic caused Apex Co. to close our office doors and institute a new work-from-home policy. Now, with vaccinations on the rise and cases declining across many parts of the country, we are preparing, once again, to return to the workplace environment.

Hey guys, it’s me, the beaten path. Since you’re all taking a break from traveling right now, I figured we could have a little heart-to-heart about how your behavior has made me feel. Getting walked all over is one thing. But being abandoned is what hurts me most of all. I’m apparently so anathema that I’ve inspired a wildly successful guidebook on to how best to leave me.

So you got to stop my wedding and steal my soon-to-be wife in the name of true love. And now, you’ve finally become the charming and courageous protagonist that every amateur romantic movie writer dreams of creating. Congratulations. I’m just so happy for you. But as you were running into the sunset with the woman whom I spent nine years of my life loving, did you ever stop to think about me, the guy you left behind at the altar?
