Many people approach job searches backwards, trying to squeeze themselves into the mold of what a company is looking for in a candidate. But there are two sides to every hiring decision, and who you are and what you want is just as important as the j... more

Used to love this show. Since it‘s now mostly a ”when I was Facebook“ roundtable, I‘d love to see Sarah Wynn-Williams-author of Careless People- on as a guest, perhaps to talk about workplace toxicity and the implications of callous and careless leadership? Oh wait! Facebook gave her a gag order to prevent her from speaking about her time there. And this is who we‘re supposed to accept insights from, as opposed peer reviewed research from a diverse range of experts. Sad death for this pod.
I loved when Adam Grant was the host. He was always very grounded and fact based in his analysis of work life. Now it has turned into a morning talk show with new host Molly Graham. Sounds like a high schooler having conversations with her bestie.
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.
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
