@nobert Do you have any thoughts on a quote/hook to use? So far I am partial to one of these:
There I was; an ops team of one* heading into our most important quarter with a mountain of work to do and the added pressure of having committed to an influential board member that we’d have a smooth quarter. We agreed that we’d celebrate our success on the other side of it. I had put my reputation on the line.
\
It is true that I would insist that I could handle it, and I guess I did, but don’t organizations have a responsibility to their employees to stop them from harming themselves in the name of the job?
\
So I did what any highly privileged person should do in this situation: I handed in my resignation with no plan other than to sleep for a month, play video games for another month, then maybe start to figure things out. What happened next is what should have happened from the start...

If you don't get a reply, I'd go with the last quote.

@bemosior I am partial to the second quote but am not really tied to it. I gladly defer to you on this :)

I think the second one is the most broadly accessible, but I do like the end of the third one, too.

In favor of accessibility and author preference, the second quote seems like a good choice. :) Thanks everyone!
