If your company is growing faster than you can keep up, your manager might decide to “layer” you—that is, split your job in half or hire someone with more experience to become your boss. This is an experience a lot of people go through at work, but i... more

- Shift of Focus
I feel like Work Life came along, just at the right time, at the start of the pandemic, when I also had my only office job. It spoke to me, even though I was not in leadership. I was a worker bee.
I don’t hate Molly, but I also don’t feel like her target audience. I listen much less, and only return, hoping that something will excite me.

United States21 days ago - Limited Perspective
Unfortunately a lot of the recent examples and guests feel like they are very focused within a single sector: tech. To get more specific: Facebook and individuals coming from Facebook. While I understand Facebook in its earlier years may have birthed many of the industry leaders we see today, but they are still all in tech and tech adjacent fields. Having some perspectives outside of tech and ai and the tech sphere would be appreciated. I just get so tired of hearing “when I was at Facebook” sev... more
Apple Podcasts3dillonjhUnited Statesa month ago - Stopped listening with the host change
I wanted to support a female host and can understand Adam wanting to move onto other things (super excited about his new podcast!). Also agree that Molly should make this her own and not try to be Adam (no one can do that). But the change in format, tone, depth, content, quality of interview questions/conversation (basically everything) took a significant turn to the point where it doesn’t at all meet the same audience/intent. I’m not sure why they didn’t just end the podcast and give her her ow... more
Apple Podcasts2Eddieclimb427United Statesa month ago - I’m Out
I truly enjoyed this podcast when it was hosted by Adam Grant. I appreciated the way he referenced academic research to support the meaning of observed and anecdotal phenomena. Now it seems to just be yet another platform for people who have had “fabulous” careers telling us about their “fabulousness.” Not interested in the host’s experience at FB or about its culture etc as if they are something to be admired. Maybe for some. Not for me. I’m out.
Apple Podcasts3ptbrimUnited States2 months ago - Mark Zuckerberg Extraordinary
Unsubscribed as soon as I heard the host call Mark a Zuckerberg “extraordinary” human. Zuckerberg is extraordinary; extraordinarily awful. I don’t need to spend any more time listening to a tech bro bootlicker. Gross.
