Decoding corporate chaos, one crumb at a time.

Infographic of Cookie Butter Toast from V’s Stack of Toast blog, decoding career and corporate life. Highlights themes like navigating work, humour, and real-world advice.

I’m the office realist in V’s Stack of Toast—the one who decodes corporate nonsense, translates HR speak into real talk, and helps you survive the 9-to-5 without setting your teams status to "crying in a bathroom stall."

I’ve seen too many “urgent” emails that weren’t urgent, been voluntold one too many times, and survived more team-building exercises than should be legally allowed. But instead of quitting to live in the forest, I made a blog.

If you’ve ever drafted an email that starts with “Per my last…” or wanted to scream during a “quick sync,” you’re in the right place.

I write passive-aggressive email templates, expose corporate buzzwords for the scam they are, and help you set boundaries without losing your paycheck.

Career survival, sarcastic scripts, and spicy truths?
This is your slice.
