After being recruited by Horizon Digital, top-tier product executive Caitlin deliberately implemented a draconian management regime—characterized by intense pressure, public performance rankings, and mandatory overtime. Within six weeks, the staff—physically and mentally exhausted—staged a collective walkout. This crisis, however, had been meticulously orchestrated by Caitlin herself. She used it to demonstrate to senior management that a culture of exploitative "efficiency" is a recipe for self-destruction. She then introduced a new framework built on trust, transparency, and respect, revitalizing the company over the next two years and empowering the team to set and defend their own professional boundaries. Following this success, she founded a consultancy firm dedicated to dismantling toxic workplace cultures.
