On April 18, 2024, I fired off what I was sure was the WhatsApp message to end all messages—a 7‑figure Dubai business deal in the making. But my smug satisfaction turned to grey‑tick purgatory when my contact casually confessed he’d disabled read receipts. Cue meltdown, keyboard-bashing, and the birth of The Elephant in the Office, my daily LinkedIn newsletter. 365 days later, with over 1,000 loyal readers, I turned office life’s daily melodrama into a year-long parade of wit, wonder, and wacky wisdom. This book captures it all—quirks, elephants, and the endless hustle of modern work.
