Corporate Hotline: Outrageous Office Beh...

Demoted Productions
About this episode

Is your direct report calling you “Baby Daddy”? Or maybe you have a piercing in a not-so-office appropriate place that somehow you now have to tell your boss about. Or perhaps your boss is saying “bust on” in a work setting - regardless, we got you covered.


In this episode, Natalie and Ross address some absolutely absurd listener-submitted calls. They may not be licensed or certified to give advice, but thats not stopping them. They provide one listener advice on how to step into their first corporate job after college, and give another listener the best strategy for shifting from an IC to management. Stay tuned for Natalie’s group hiking experience, Venmo stalking, and Ross getting memed by Elon Musk.


The Corporate Hotline is open for calls. Please submit your audio message to the submission form in the top right corner of our website. https://demotedpodcast.com
