In this episode, we take on the sometimes awkward, often misunderstood world of probationary periods. Are they necessary checkpoints or just a corporate commitment-phobe’s way of saying “it’s not me, it’s you”? One of us thinks they’re essential for building trust, the other thinks they’re a lazy crutch for indecisive leaders. Spoiler: it gets spicy.
We also share a hilarious cautionary tale involving a sales call, a window manufacturer, and a near-existential panic about phishing scams—because apparently, trying to be productive is now a security risk.
Whether you're hiring, being hired, or just trying not to get catfished by a Sales Prospecting vendor, this one’s for you.
