Description
Lucas and Luna explore the career trap of becoming the go-to problem solver at work. Using the case of a senior analyst named Priya who spent 40% of her time fixing colleagues' errors, they break down the hidden costs of being the office fixer — from burnout to stalled promotions. They discuss how to set boundaries, delegate fixes upward, and avoid being typecast as a cleanup crew. With specific tactics like the 'one-hour rule' and the 'fix and transfer' method, this episode offers actionable advice for anyone who feels their helpfulness is hurting their career growth. No clichés, just real talk from the Fexingo Business podcast.
