The Hustle Horrors Series

This will be a departure from the other posts on my blog, but I wanted to share my Hustle Horrors series of poetry. My upcoming posts will all be themed around toxic Hustle Culture, working during and after the pandemic, how companies treat their employees, and the struggle that all workers go through.
