Emrah sat in the back of a crowded, grey conference room. He was a junior engineer at a large tech firm, but he felt more like a ghost. He was quiet, efficient, and entirely overlooked.

"You," Demir demanded. "You’ve been here for months, but you never say anything. I don’t even know what you do. (Emrah, what is your name?)"

Mr. Demir stopped shouting. He looked at the code, then at Emrah.

"Good work, Emrah," Demir said, his tone shifting from angry to impressed. "Why didn't you say something sooner?" "I was waiting to be asked," Emrah admitted. "Don't wait," Demir replied. "Make them know your name."

Emrah knew the answer. He had found a faulty line of code days ago. But he was terrified of speaking up. He feared being wrong, feared being judged, feared taking up space.
