  • How to Get Fired and Negotiate Severance

    How to Get Fired and Negotiate Severance
    Jun 5 2024
    Getting fired can leave you shell-shocked, speechless, and in no place to negotiate. Like' Dylan,' he just got fired over Zoom, and now his severance package consists of a career services subscription to help him "improve his resume." 'Dylan's' IRL layoff story got us thinking: are you ready for what's next? This week, we're talking about how to get fired, negotiate a fair severance package, and more.

  • Why Job Loyalty Might Be Overrated with Shark Tank's Matt Higgins

    Why Job Loyalty Might Be Overrated with Shark Tank's Matt Higgins
    May 30 2024
    Is job loyalty an asset or a liability? Is passion for your work overhyped? This week, inspired by the story of 'Alexandra'—a recent graduate who took a comedian's unconventional advice to heart—we explore the rocky path from graduation to the workforce. Joining us to unpack 'Alexandra's' experience is Matt Higgins, Shark Tank co-host and co-founder and CEO of RSE Ventures. Together, we discuss the importance of resilience, the role of luck, and the strategic moves young professionals can make to navigate their careers more effectively.

  • I Can’t Get a Job in This Booming Market

    I Can’t Get a Job in This Booming Market
    May 22 2024
    Don’t trust the headlines: whether you’re a new graduate or a seasoned professional, the job market feels anything but robust. And like recently-laid-off “Roland,” you find yourself receiving thoughts and prayers in lieu of offers on LinkedIn. Glassdoor's expert on the current two-track labor market, Chief Economist Aaron Terrazas, joins the show to talk about the recession hitting white-collar workers—and how to make the most of it.

Life Changing Podcast

While the podcast may be called The Lonely Office, it is truly the first podcast I have listened to in the past few years that made me feel as though I was not alone. In fact, it may be the most life-changing podcast I have ever laid my ears upon. I shared it with my team, and seriously - I think that you may have helped save our sanity and careers. ♥️
