In this highly-requested episode, we’re going to discuss the question everyone’s asked at some point: Can you trust your coworkers?

Why the workplace rewards the worst of human nature
The scarcity mindset that fuels workplace competition
Why the workplace is a dictatorship
How companies use industry jargon to manipulate reality
9 types of people to watch out for
10 ways to protect yourself

🎙️ About the podcast: The patriarchy is starting to crumble, but sadly it probably won't be fully dismantled in our lifetime. In this podcast, I help women exploit the system's loopholes while finding the hidden ways the patriarchy conditions us to leak our power. Because guess what? Power isn't given, it's either taken or created. And it's time to take back the power the patriarchy stole from us.
