EP 007: Culture Coach or Chaos Couch?

“Culture Coach” sounds like a dream job, until the posting starts reading like an organizational Rorschach test. Jen brings a rare one: a remote Canada role at a New York–based IT consultancy that’s trying to reinvent people ops… and accidentally tells on itself in the process. We dig into what a “culture coach” really is, why the responsibilities feel half-baked, what it signals when the first interview is a one-way video into the void, and how “benefits” magically appear twice, contradicting themselves along the way. If you’re a job seeker, this episode will help you separate innovative from incoherent. If you’re a job-seeker seeker, it’s a masterclass in how vague postings create bad applicant pools, compliance risk, and trust issues before Day 1.
