In this episode, we’re talking all about workplace manners, and how the “corporate standard” doesn’t always line up with what actually makes people feel respected, supported, and comfortable. We break down how office etiquette can sometimes feel outdated or inconsiderate, and how poor decisions from management can unintentionally create an environment that drains morale instead of building it. From confusing policies to office setups that ignore how people actually work, all the way to how an uncomfortable layout affects the team.

In this episode, we unpack the subtle dynamics of weaponized incompetence and weaponized politeness. One of us shares how they often get manipulated into thinking the other person “doesn’t know better,” only to realize that this perception is exactly what allows manipulation to happen. We explore why inner healing is at the root of this behavior, because people who manipulate at work often do the same in their personal lives. If they were healed in their personal life, they would be less likely to use others for their own advantage in the workplace.

In this episode, we dive into the world of side hustles and what it takes to build something alongside your day-to-day work. One of us is all for juggling multiple full-time jobs, while the other isn’t. We also talk about how the hustle is noticed and respected and the challenge of finding quality people to hire. You shouldn’t underestimate your own skills. Chances are, you’re already above average.
