For years, many corporations have received a bad rap. We’ve seen companies called out by regulatory government bodies and activists regarding their carbon emissions, deficiencies in employee benefits, and other publicity concerns. What’s more is the pandemic further exposed the negative impact of some businesses on people and the environment. Hence, there was a need to rethink Capitalism and implement ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) into company goals.

My father was a medical officer with his own office and an arm of subordinates, while my mother was her own boss with her secretary before she retired.

I still don’t have a secretary or assistant as of late, but I have had my “sentient” and sort-of reliable online assistant since 2023. I’ve been feeling happy about my assistant for a…
