“I’m sorry for everything you’ve been through, Benjamin Mindy.

You lost two years of your career, but that’s still the least important thing. What about psychological damage? Your life will definitely never be the same again. Reputational destruction culture claims another victim.

Being responsible is the minimum for any professional, but these days working hard is an exception. There are no limits to get more interactions. My question is: what to do to fix the damage? “.
