#84 – Then She Got An Offer And Everything Changed

This week we're talking about workplace value, counteroffers, career growth, and why some companies only recognize your worth after you've decided to leave. We also dive into giving notice, toxic work culture, school cellphone bans, student loans, the Mandela Effect, and several viral internet debates that had us laughing and questioning everything.
