Nightmare Bosses: Part 2

Demoted Productions
About this episode

Corp and Natalie are back with more terrible boss stories! This time they are reading through Ross’s followers’ submissions. And if we know anything about his predominantly sales audience, we know these stories are going to be epic. The episode also unpacks a spicy sales love-triangle scandal exposed in the most unlikely of places - LinkedIn. Stay tuned to find out what it's like to have Ross and Natalie as your boss. We hear first-hand accounts from their employees telling tales of sweet treats, fart noises, firing directors, and method acting in sketchy hotels.
