Canned
Conversations about getting fired. Heads up, there’s swearing -- after all, we’ve been fired.
Episodes
Christine was not shy about telling off The Man for making tech support worse. The database mentioned? theceodatabase.com. Our heroine has been hit with several cease and desist notices, so by the time this goes live, it may or may not be online. We'll take that as her doing the right thing.
Amy and Pam ask the important questions like... How do you fuck up being a mermaid?
Pam gets the axe from her copywriting job, says eff that noise, and... starts a podcast? What? Featuring CANNED's behind the scene enabler and producer, Amy Guth as this week's guest host.
Amber wasn't even on company time. She was literally off the clock. And she got the axe anyway.
Also, hey, here's that Antiwork Reddit Sub we mention at the intro. Fun fact, my former project manager is the one who turned me on to Antiwork. I miss him every day, working with him was great. When your project manager is an antiwork guy, you know you're on the right team.
Dylan is going to make it through this year if it kills him.
Jez Stewart from Prospect (a union that represents 157,000 workers in the UK) takes us through what a union does and why we want to be part of one.
Rebecca Weaver, founder and CEO of HRuprise, talks us through the structural pitfalls of HR, why it's broken, and we can do to protect ourselves.
Delia was fired twice in one year, and that sucked ... a lot. Also, we have the chance to learn what's different about getting canned here in these United States vs. north of the border in Canada.
Your paycheck has dematerialized, what the hell are you supposed to do now? Meet Anita Gray, a financial planner and owner at Promenade Wealth, who helps us understand how to prepare for getting canned and what to do with our money if -- when -- we get the axe. A quick disclaimer (and we do this in the audio, too) -- don't take this as investment advice. For these interludes, our guests are folks who may not have been canned...
Settle in, friends, for Ben's wild tale of bad behavior, mistaken identity, and things literally falling apart. Producer Amy and I were both so confounded by this story that there's a bonus segment where the two of us settle in for some serious WTF time.
Leif inadvertently schedules the meeting in which he gets fired. Find Leif's books on his website.
Mike is very much not himself in the interivew. It ends... like you'd expect. Badly.
Mike has a newsletter called Everything is Amazing. He's kinda internet famous for it.
Quincy learns the hard way that you should download your contacts and your work on the regular. You might lose access to that stuff and then what?
Beware the bungee-in boss. And dry the trays, you punk-ass kid.
Do not ask Jamie to tell you about a time. Don't do it.
Matt ignores the signs at his own peril.
When Liz's husband got canned, she worried about how they'd manage. Badly, it turns out, because she got canned too.
It's weird to be shown the door of the company you founded, but that's what happened to Rand.
"It takes me on a little journey, every single episode. There's very philosophical moments, there's heartwarming, there's "holy shit, that was some fucked up shit that happened, and there's always something that makes me laugh out loud."
Pam and Amy (the superstar producer behind CANNED) talk about how CANNED happened, what we've learned, revisit some greatest hits, and drop some eff bombs because you got fired, it's fucked up.
...
Abbas goes all in and files a FOIA request to find out why he wasn't give classes for the subsequent term and ends up going through the looking glass. Apparently it started with... a parking ticket? What?
