The form is blank on purpose. But blank is hard, and I think blank is why more of you have opened it than have filled it in.
So here are the ones that keep almost arriving.
The thing you believe about your own company’s product that you have never said in a meeting.
The number you quietly stopped believing in about eight months ago.
The conference you attend for the hallway rather than the stage, and what gets said in that hallway.
What you actually think about the methodology you helped write, now that other people have to live inside it.
The moment you realised you were the most senior person in the room, and that nobody was coming.
Why you stayed after the round didn’t close.
Why you left.
Whether any of this is working, and what you’d do with the answer if it were no.
Nobody is grading these for drama. The submissions that land hardest are almost never the dramatic ones, and I have published several that were essentially one sentence. If you’ve carried it around for a while, it’s enough.
Staying anonymous
Submit from an account with nothing attached to it. Don’t name your employer. Change or blur any detail that would identify you to someone else in this field, because this industry is much smaller than it feels from inside your own org chart, and the thing you think is generic is often the thing that names you.
I never publish anything I believe identifies the sender, and I’ll cut details I think are a risk even if you left them in. If you’re not sure, send it anyway and say you’re not sure. I’d rather publish a slightly blurred true thing than a sharp one that costs you your job.
What happens next
I read everything. I don’t publish everything. If yours runs, it runs as text and as audio, read aloud by me, and there is nothing in either version that points back at you.
Submit here. Or email climateworkersanonymous@protonmail.com from an account that isn’t yours.
