A Lot of Us Have Been Bob 😥

I received an outpouring of responses from last week's episode about Bob getting stabbed in the back by his boss, Rick. Sadly, a lot of us have been Bob and have had at least one (often more than one) horrible experience like that at the hands of either a terrible boss, toxic company, scheming colleague, or some combo of all of the above.  Key topics:✔️ One of my coaching clients asked me if I had any Bob experiences and yes, I do. I recount a couple of them in this episode.✔️ There are signs that the times are changing, though more needs to be done. The days of companies being able to treat people like garbage with no repercussions and no accountability are coming to an end.✔️ The Devil Wears Prada turned 15 this year. Yet the Miranda Priestly-es of the world are still in Corporate America, make no mistake about it. More women are rebelling against mantras of "lean in" and "girlboss" yet managers from hell are by no means a thing of the past. Or a thing purely of fiction. ✔️ The old school notion of success having to be the corner office with a fancy title is obsolete. Ya know, kinda like how the idea of a corporation giving its retirees a pension, full benefits, and a gold watch no longer exists.  We can debate whether that dream died with the Enron scandal, but we know now that it's gone. The onus is on you to look out for yourself and not swear fealty to a corporation. Need more? Email me: https://causeyconsultingllc.com/contact-causey/
