👋 Hey, it’s Matt. This is Working Theories, the weekly newsletter where I share stories, ideas, and frameworks for accelerating your career or business. The first time I was passed over for a promotion, I received the news while eating lunch in my car on the side of the road in Canon City, Colorado. Cell service was terrible west of I-25 in those days, and I could barely hear the hiring manager on the other end of the phone. I picked up just enough to gather what was happening.
