The Woman Who Took the Stairs for Eleven Years
Meet Petra Osei, who's very good at her job and has never once looked at the number that says so. There is one screen in Petra Osei's overlay that she has never opened. Eleven years at the same firm, the system scoring every day of it, and she has never once looked at the result.…
