The Ghosting Policy

by

The radical act of claiming digital darkness.

He told his team he was taking a "digital day off." No emails, no Slack, no calls. He fully expected the urgent texts, the passive-aggressive calls asking "if he saw the note." But nothing came. The silence was profound. He realised the ghosting wasn't a punishment for the company; it was a punishment for his own self-importance. The world hadn't ended without his input. That realisation, that he was both less essential and more free than he thought, was the most liberating and terrifying feeling he'd had all year.
