Power and principles, love and dignity, growth and price. The story of love and death in the workplace contains the cruelty of workplace competition, the complexity of human nature, and the beauty and bitterness of love. "If the price of winning is to become the kind of person I hate most, then I would rather lose completely." "Power is both honey and shackles - I enjoy the freedom it gives, but hate the greed it brings." "Loving someone should not be like kneeling to receive an imperial edict - what I want is to look at me with equal respect, not a gift." "We torture each other not because of hatred, but because we see the most vulnerable part of ourselves in each other."
