“I quit the job today.”
“What made you stay there for so long?”
“Well … I got carried away with some false assurances.”
“Hmmm… the usual story….. did you speak to them about it?”
“It made no sense. The dividing lines between the lobbies are deeply entrenched. I stood no chance.”
“Why did you fail to see that earlier?”
“The dividers looked like windows of opportunity. There was nothing but darkness within.”

Clever use of the prompt. We all recognise those barriers and go looking for the windows of opportunity.

A nicely written piece and a good take on the prompt Reena. Lots of workers must have fallen for similar illusions, but not many have the sense/courage to get out while they can.
