Ep. 11 | Your Stickiest Workplace Situations—Answered
Welcome to the stickiest Casual Friday yet. Producer Clay flips the script and puts Blakely and Heather in the hot seat to answer YOUR real workplace dilemmas. These aren't theoretical scenarios—these are the uncomfortable, frustrating, and sometimes infuriating situations you're actually facing at work.
From navigating toxic bosses to handling flirtatious managers on company retreats, from being denied promised promotions to overhearing your boss complain about maternity leave—Blakely and Heather tackle it all with their signature mix of practical wisdom, legal expertise (thanks to Heather's lawyer background), and zero tolerance for workplace BS.
This episode gets real. Blakely admits she became "the most emotional basket case" while answering these questions. Heather introduces her alter ego "The Naked Lawyer" (yes, really). And Clay discovers just how passionate these two former CEOs get when they hear about the workplace injustices their listeners are experiencing.
