I noticed Tommy spending a lot of time “sleeping” and “eating.” Classic Gen Z behavior. So I sat him down and showed him our website analytics.
“See this webpage?” I asked. “It never sleeps. It never complains. It’s always grinding.”
Then I deleted all his work from the past month and made him start over.
He quit the next day, but not before our bounce rate decreased by 0.02%.
