Each time you decide that you can and will do something better, there’s a tax.
A tax on the initiative of the person you took the job from.
A tax on their sense of agency.
A tax on confidence.
A tax on learning.
Taxes are important. They are part of how things work. They allow other good things to happen. They are necessary.
But they’re still taxes. They have a cost.
So use them wisely.
