    Podcast Summary

    • Supporting businesses through challengesDespite tragedies and workplace rumors, BT remains dedicated to supporting businesses. Stronger actions are needed in response to inappropriate relationships in the workplace.

      No matter the size or stage of your business, BT is committed to supporting you in your endeavors. Tragically, the focus shifted as the news emerged of the senseless murder of Barnaby Weber, a young, talented cricketer, and another student, Grace Kumar. Their families and community were left in shock and grief as they mourned the loss of two promising young lives. The incident also brought to light the need for stronger action in response to allegations of inappropriate relationships in the workplace. Dame Carolyn McCall, the head of ITV, acknowledged that if she had received solid evidence regarding the rumored relationship between Phillip Schofield and a younger colleague, she would have taken more decisive steps.

    • Power imbalances and investigations in the workplace, junior doctor strikes, and business tipsPower imbalances can lead to serious workplace issues, doctors are striking for higher pay, save up to 89% on shipping with Stamps.com, and consider gifting Osea's limited edition Mother's Day skin care set

      Power imbalances and inappropriate relationships in the workplace can lead to serious issues, and proper investigations should be launched when necessary. This was discussed in the context of the ITV affair between former This Morning presenters. Elsewhere, the junior doctor strikes in the UK are causing significant disruptions to hospital appointments, with around 200,000 appointments affected during the last strike. The doctors are demanding a higher pay increase from the government. In other news, Professor Sir Steven Powis warned that this three-day strike will be as impactful as the last one. The priority remains ensuring the safety of emergency services during the strikes.

    Overcompensating and bulletproofing

    Overcompensating and bulletproofing

    In this episode, we start out by breaking down a tweeted photo of Elon Musk with his “extremely hardcore” employees. We discuss the superficial meaning and the subtleties of this picture and unearth the potential repercussions and the narrative presented by this photo, questioning what options employees on visa status truly have in a “hardcore” organization.

    We reflected upon the concept of overcompensating/bullet proofing in our own line of work and how we have navigated the tendency to be “pigeon-holed.” We share personal examples while drawing from findings from the organizational psychology research, touching on how Asians are confined to certain non-leader roles and how we as podcasts hosts are working to break that narrative.
