Especially if you work in a field that requires constant interaction and social mingling. The constant distinction of 'work emotions' from 'personal emotions' can be draining for most, especially when new to the corporate work setting. </p><p>You encounter a colleague that you most definitely have clashes with while working but when the work clock turns off, you're supposed to set aside the obvious work emotional tension and see them as an individual separate from the work environment. When it's not like the person has two different personalities, 'Work personality' and 'Off-Work personality'. Normal humans tend to have singular personality (which in of itself is complex but usually narrowed down by certain similar principles), so knowing when to draw the line on a work beef with a colleague or client that seems to be hard to get along with or quite unfriendly can get a bit blurry because you can't seem to see how a person can be so different from their work persona.<br/><br/>The poem points to the dilemma that can one be 'professional' by tucking away their true personality for the sake of work and stomach the obvious flaws in judgement from the other person, or is pointing out the issue (respectfully so, as it is indeed a work setting) a definite faux pas in the work setting.</p><p><br/></p><p>Where is the line and how is being professional treated as though it requires you to become a different person or pardon certain social/moral flaws in the name of professionalism. Would like to hear the readers take on the poem.</p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
