  • S03E08: Office Politics Playbook: If You Dread Mondays, This One’s for You
    Apr 22 2025

    Everyone has heard the saying "People don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad bosses." but what happens when it’s not just the boss…it’s the whole damn system?

    In this episode, we pull back the curtain on toxic workplace politics. The kind of slow-burn dysfunction that erodes trust, kills morale, and leaves high performers doubting their worth. From weaponized company values to gaslighting, from cult-like cliques to weaponized positivity, we’re breaking down the eight most toxic politics that are quietly ruining the modern workplace.

    Here’s the uncomfortable truth: no company is perfect. There are no unicorns, just different flavors of dysfunction. So how do you figure out which “brand of BS” is tolerable for you? When do you know it’s time to walk away?

    🧠 What’s in it for you?

    ✅ A breakdown of the 8 most toxic political behaviors in modern organizations
    ✅ Real-world examples of how these behaviors show up—subtly and overtly
    ✅ Strategies to emotionally protect yourself while you plot your exit
    ✅ Permission to prioritize your health over the illusion of loyalty
