A new title, more responsibility, better pay and perhaps a little prestige … what could be bad about getting promoted? This week we help listeners grappling with the complexities and consequences of “moving on up” the corporate ladder. Chris probes Tim about his quasi-agrarian roots.
Segments in this episode:
- Down About Moving Up In Bloomfield - “I got promoted and now my work friends are giving me a hard time”
- Up For Grabs In Chattanooga – “I’m one of four vying for two promotions, how should I rate my competition during our 360 review process?”
- The Gist: “Explaining Game Theory” – the Cubicle Crew introduces this branch of behavioral economics. Is it possible to predict the way two or more seemingly-competing parties will act in a given situation? Would you make the choice that most benefits you, or cooperate to maximize outcomes for all?
We want to hear about the drama, the dilemmas, and the conundrums that you face at work! All names will be changed to protect the guilty and innocent.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
