About this listen
Tyler Wells spent 8 years building his career at an ad agency in Knoxville. Then brain cancer changed everything.
When he asked for basic accommodation during chemotherapy - just a lighter workload while his body fought for his life - HR's response was brutal: "We're not obligated to help you." They repeated it five times.
This wasn't some startup. This was a global company with "unlimited PTO" - the same policy they called "abuse" when Tyler actually needed it.
In this episode, Tyler breaks down:
- The moment he got his diagnosis at a coffee shop
- How "unlimited PTO" is corporate America's biggest bait and switch
- Why he had to work through surgery, radiation, and chemo
- The systematic betrayal that pushed him to independence
- Why network gets you started but process scales your practice
Tyler's original LinkedIn story went viral with 760K+ views because it validates what millions of experienced professionals face: corporate promises evaporate when you need them most.
