Ever wonder what happens when podcast opportunity knocks but uses the wrong doorbell? Michael Gillespie opens this episode with a cautionary tale about business opportunities that don't follow proper channels. Despite tempting collaboration offers landing in his personal inbox, Michael's military background taught him to question why these potential partners bypassed his clearly posted business email. His thoughtful analysis reminds creators that legitimate opportunities typically respect established protocols.

The heart of the episode dives into Michael's experiences managing "YPs" (Young People) in the workplace, painting a nuanced portrait that defies generational stereotypes. We meet an exceptional young employee balancing her day job with entrepreneurial side hustles and film appearances, whose brutal honesty about Michael's music choices earned his deepest respect.

The episode reaches its comedic peak with Michael's introduction of "Thug 1" and "Thug 2" – particularly the latter, whose 4'4" frame houses an intimidating presence that has Michael genuinely scared despite their significant height difference. When she threatens to "put someone on a shirt" (referring to memorial t-shirts), Michael's entertaining fear perfectly captures the surprising dynamics that can emerge in workplace relationships. Through laughter and reflection, this episode offers valuable insights about authenticity, proper communication channels, and managing diverse personalities in professional environments.

Have you ever wondered what really happens at senior facilities? In this raw and uncensored episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the bizarre, hilarious, and sometimes disturbing realities of working in senior healthcare.

From my archives comes a collection of unforgettable tales that perfectly capture the stranger side of caring for elderly patients. There's the diabetic who demanded 60 ounces of regular Coca-Cola daily despite having already lost part of his leg, and the woman who transformed her room into an 80s time capsule complete with vintage perfumes that made her space smell "exactly like the Golden Girls' house" – all while insisting I call her "Delicious" (which I absolutely refused).

The healthcare system itself comes under scrutiny as I reveal the shockingly simple "BIMS test" used to determine a resident's mental competence – remember three words and know approximately what year it is, and you're deemed capable of making all your decisions. I discuss paradox where patients refuse to practice essential skills like coming down to the dining room, then complain when their food arrives cold to their rooms.

Most memorably (though you might wish you could forget), I share my encounters with what staff called "doodoo men" Hope you enjoy!

Five seemingly innocent traits can transform your coworker from just another colleague into something far more formidable—a workplace "mob boss." Drawing from his experiences with the enigmatic Cole, Michael Gillespie unveils how ordinary workplace dynamics can mirror the classic power structures of mafia movies.

The fascinating character study begins with Cole's perfect cover—a genuinely loving, supportive family that masks her tremendous influence within the workplace hierarchy. As Michael recounts with equal parts humor and disbelief, this seemingly normal elder care worker commanded loyalty from her "enforcer" "Beatrice" while maintaining an uncanny network of connections throughout Hamilton that left him perpetually astonished.

What truly elevates this workplace drama is the intense rivalry between Cole and fellow employee Ichigo. Their passive-aggressive social media warfare and workplace confrontations placed Michael squarely in the crossfire as manager, culminating in the infamous "bacon and mayonnaise sandwich incident" that no amount of HR intervention could have prevented.

Most chilling of all was Cole's ability to never forget a perceived slight. Years after disciplining her for attendance issues during family emergencies, she still reminds Michael of these "betrayals"—even offering to slash tires to help collect money owed to him by someone else. The episode masterfully blends humor with genuine insights into workplace politics that anyone who's navigated office drama will recognize.

Whether you're dealing with your own workplace "crime boss" or simply enjoy stories of bizarre professional dynamics, this episode offers both entertainment and a framework for understanding the unwritten rules governing our work relationships. Have you ever worked with someone who commanded this level of influence? Listen now and join the conversation about the secret mob bosses hiding in plain sight at workplaces everywhere!

Picture this: navigating a workforce where common sense feels like a mythical creature and personal hygiene is an afterthought. Welcome to the WDYM podcast, where I, your host, unravel the quirks and frustrations of managing a younger generation that seems to have redefined workplace norms. We'll dive into the curious world of "taps"—short for "trifling ass people"—as I share tales from my managerial adventures as we explore the evolving attitudes and communication styles that sometimes leave managers scratching their heads.

And let's not forget the "WHPTs"—colleagues whose breath could knock you off your feet. With a blend of humor and insight, I discuss the impact of unreliable coworkers and highlight the critical importance of professionalism, education, and good hygiene in bridging the social divide caused by these "taps" and "WHPTs." Join me as we navigate these workplace dynamics with a dose of reality and a dash of humor, urging everyone to step up their game.
