a question came up in MSFT's New Future of Work #NFW2020 about the role of anger in the workplace. My fantastic colleague Tawanna Dillahunt highlighted, as she generously has before, that only some people have the privilege of being angry at work. I think about that often.
You are making important and reasonable points, almost all of which I agree with. I will reiterate, however, that I am unsure that *expressing anger explicitly* actually is an effective way to get things done. Do certain people have a right to *feel more anger*? Yes, of course.

Expressing the anger (that one feels) just may not be an effective way to get heard and create change. At least that's how I feel.
