Every Employee Needs This Kind of Newsletter⚡

and YOU CAN CREATE it this weekend!

Finally, it’s Friday again 😏

This week I came across an animated character on Youtube Shorts (and also on TikTok), Veronica.

Source: Tiktok

I can't get enough of Veronica's spicy🌶️conversations with her manager...

I'm not sure if she's a real person or just a fictional character, an employee who is firm, knows her rights and will fight for it (mostly her time). 🔥

Veronica is a personification of what an employee he or she *WISH* to be like.

I got curious and stumbled upon an interesting Newsletter Idea 💡 an employee like you, me or Veronica can start this weekend.
