We all have them. Horror stories about work. They’re funny because they’re true. And they make you cringe, because we’ve all been there, or at least we can relate on some level. 

 

On this special Halloween episode, three of my dear colleagues and friends join me to share Tricks, Treats, and Horror Stories all related to places we’ve worked. 

 

You’ll laugh (glitter during a rainstorm, anyone?), you’ll cringe (oh no!  That sensitive email was not meant for THAT person!!!), and you’ll run screaming from the disgusting horror! It was hilarious to share and I hope you have just as much fun listening!

 

In this episode we explore

  • Business horror stories
  • Bad bosses and workplace challenges
  • Tricks, pranks & workplace culture
  • Treats, bonuses, & workplace recognition
  • Ewww….the gross stuff that makes you shudder
