428: But What if Your Workplace is Toxic? with Robert Glazer

428: But What if Your Workplace is Toxic? with Robert Glazer

But What if Your Workplace is Toxic?
with Robert Glazer
---------------

I had an office job that was so boring, I used to photocopy my face while guzzling free office coffee and snacking on breath mints. As long as I was hovering near the copy machine, everyone assumed I was doing something productive.

After a few days of this linger-guzzle-mint-chomp routine, my colleague, Cynthia, felt we needed to add some occasional stapling to our escapades lest we be found out. So we started making zines out of my best xeroxed smash-face printouts. Oh, good times.

Life is too short to hate your job, and yet most of us do. With telecommuting at an all-time high, some jobs have become more tolerable, but do you truly feel meaning and purpose at work? Do you feel like you're working toward a worthy goal? These are hard questions I don't have the answer to, but my guest on the show has created a multi-award winning workplace, so he's got some great ideas.

Listen & Learn:

  • Why lack of value alignment is perhaps the biggest job problem of all
  • How to both employee and employers need to think about the end at the beginning
  • Why "2 weeks notice" is terrible for everyone
  • How COVID-19 is affecting communication and connection
