About this episode

Happy hour is when the real business gets done. Corp and Natalie read through listener-submitted confessions that paint a startling picture of company drinking cultures. Brace yourself for stories of coworker hookups, drunken divulgences, face slaps, and a creative application of hot wax. They also reflect on their own happy hour experiences working in sales and consulting and share some tips on how to survive and thrive in these sloppy environments.

If you are looking for ways to spice up your in-office conversations, Natalie and Ross have you covered with a quick seminar on corporate jargon dirty talk. Stay tuned for discussions about the role of humor in the workplace, the legality of closing deals with drunk prospects, and the ethics of canceling a meeting due to a hangover.
