Hosted by Roos & Amanda · EN
The Gossip Office is your go-to podcast to navigate a corporate career as a young person. How can you stay professional while still having fun? What is the "smartest" way to climb the corporate ladder? Or should you just, as they all say, quit your 9-5 and do what makes you feel passionate? Calm down, we've got you. We also panic - but we try to explore these topics with the help of research, personal stories and interviews with people who took different paths in life.
Tag along!

Transcribe →33. Det stora kärleksavsnittet
Jan 1400:38:13Tap to summarize...eller borde vi kalla det "det stora ensamhetsavsnittet"? Hur känns det när alla i ens närhet skaffar partner och man själv tvingas in i nya relationer med människor som man själv inte valt? Den senaste veckan har kantats av kärleksresor och ensamhetskänslor och det är detta som promptat ämnet för veckans podcast. Helt vanliga känslor som nog är omöjliga att komma ifrån, men som kan kännas skamfyllda att prata om.Glöm inte att följa oss på: Instagram @skvallerkontoretTikTok @skvallerkontoretEller mejla oss på: skvallerkontoret@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
