Editors letter Carrie@Work

There is a particular moment at work that rarely makes it into job descriptions.
It happens somewhere between the first coffee and the last meeting of the day.
When you realise that work is never really about tasks, titles, or performance reviews, but about people, expectations, misunderstandings, longing, and quiet resilience.

Carrie@work was born in that space.

Not from ambition, but from observation.
From years of watching people do their best, often unseen.
From conversations that never made it into meeting minutes.
From glances across desks, awkward laughter in elevators, loyalty that went unnoticed and integrity that didn’t always get rewarded.

This is not a platform about climbing ladders.
It is about standing still long enough to notice what actually happens while we work.

Here, you’ll find stories that make you smile in recognition.
Pieces you read during a coffee break and unexpectedly carry with you all day. Reflections that don’t offer solutions, but offer something far more comforting:
the feeling that you are not alone in how you experience work.

Carrie@work looks at the workplace the way a good magazine looks at life, with curiosity, elegance, humour, and a deep respect for human complexity.

There will be wit.
There may be a tear.
There will always be humanity.

This is a space for those who work hard without shouting.
For those who observe more than they speak.
For those who were once forgotten for a promotion, but remembered for everything else they brought.

Welcome to Carrie@work.
Take a seat. Have a coffee. Stay as long as you like.
