I thought long and hard about whether to publicly share my criticism regarding my work with this education provider. To me, this is a matter of civic duty: I grew up with the understanding that you have to stand up for democratic principles. Before publishing everything uncensored, however, I want to give their executive management in Berlin a fair chance to state their position.
I’ll send them a polite, straightforward letter. They will most likely ignore it, but they deserve the opportunity for an open dialogue. If they choose not to respond, I will publish the text unedited. I’m not naming individuals or violating privacy rights; I am simply documenting what I personally experienced.
I fully expect them to try to silence or punish me for speaking out. But that kind of aggressive reaction only proves the core point: if they truly believed their actions were justified, they wouldn't feel the need to suppress transparency. Exposing these dynamics is the only way to demand real accountability.
What do you take away from this thought?
Thank you. Every answer fits – take it with you into your day. Would you like to share something yourself?
