This week's episode focuses entirely on the idea of work. Is email work? What about sitting at your desk staring into oblivion? What about your lunch break? We answer all these questions and more on a very work-related episode. 

 Also, listening to this counts as work, FYI.

This week we take on a listener topic around dealing with a project that is bound by five different stakeholders, all asking for different things, all with different priorities... basically, the project from hell. I think we solved it, but you tell us. See you in the discord.

Following up on our previous episode about the act of performing performance reviews, we act out a non-simulated performance review of the performance of this very podcast. It's not confusing at all, I swear. 
Alex joins us again for another tantalizing talk all about giving feedback and receiving it appropriately when you are locked in a room with just your manager.

Today's topic is all about the marketing dept, specifically how to know if it's the right career path for you to walk down. I highly advocate for it, but that's just me, corporate marketing man.

There are a lot of departments with skin in the game, engineering, sales, marketing, and product management, but who is the real throat to choke when it all breaks down? Do we blame the customer? How do you build a better product when we can't identify what happens next? 
It would be great if we competently answered even half of these questions, but you listen to this pod and know what you get!

This episode is MASSIVE! Alex helps us put a positive spin on the most burning corporate questions directly from the discord, including:

• Will families ever be able to own a house on a single salary again?
•  How many improvements to the corporate world can come down to affecting change from within as opposed to forcing better practices from outside, such as via government regulation? 
•  Is Elon Musk the Antichrist?
• Is CYA culture a ne...

We always do our best to help others around us. That's why today I'm doing my best to evaluate and offer any advice to support Clark's current "people problem," if we can really call it that. Often people get the bad rap for process/technology when it fails them, and what about when companies fail people? Is their reaction to this failure problematic? We discuss all of this and more in this weeks people foc...

We love it when it happens, and we got a listener-submitted topic, and it's a tough one. What do you do when quitting your job (and finding a better one) is not an option? Micromanagers, lousy culture, herding cats, it's all on the table to fix. It isn't easy, but Bruce and Clark tackle the challenge head-on by using CACC to help evaluate and reverse Uno the non-ideal situation into something (hopefully) better.
