This show, like a lot of the ABC reflects middle and upper middle class white people in the workplace. It has zero relevance to working class people who are often trapped in their workplace by the middle and upper middle class. Burnout, for example, happens to retail workers, receptionists and warehouse workers. Only they often have little choice but to continue to work. Why not once in while speak with a working class worker instead of Uni educated, American workplace importer managers who ofte... more
I didn’t think I’d find this show interesting but I do. But thank God you got rid of that cringeworthy old slogan, “Work it baby.’ Awful. The new one is better but not better than having none at all. An extra star rating if you drop it!
This episode is reason enough to unsubscribe. I’d consider this to be pro employer messaging and almost propaganda from the guest (older generation) to dismiss the new younger coming in. This will only cause further division and issues in the world. Do better.
Great presenters, topics that are relevant and future focused
