#85 – He Waited Until the Day Before to Tell Me
Description
This week, we're talking about work stress, micromanaging, and what a manager check-in should actually cover, the real-life career moments nobody preps you for. Jocelyn tells the story of a coworker who had a whole month, said we're good every single week, and confessed the day before the deadline, and she is not carrying that. Plus a full response to the Canada comments on our viral clip, the loc pricing debate, South Korea's fake shopping apps, and a trip back to The Box and 106 & Park. Whether you're navigating a stressful job, a manager who hovers, or a comment section with opinions, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who truly get it. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow the podcast everywhere you listen.
