About this episode
Work sucks, I know. And since we can’t all make it to Blink 182’s show… How exactly do we cope with the uncertainty of an insanely competitive, wildly unstable job economy?
In this special series with New Stand, a startup company setting out to improve everyday employee experience—and bring a little bit of daily joy back into employees’ lives—CEO Dave Garcia chats with Hebba about the #problematic aspects of workplace culture.
In this ep, they’re breaking down why the effects of a rapidly changing job economy have led to an epidemic of “quiet staying” and why employees have such difficulty staying engaged with, well… doing actual work.
Plus, you might think you can do a better job than your manager… but can you really? Let’s be real—it’s not as easy as it looks.
