Can Workers and Supervisors Actually Get Along?

Send us Fan Mail Can workers and supervisors actually get along — even when personalities clash, disagreements happen, and one person technically has authority over the other? In Season 3, Episode 7 of Who’s Even Listening ? — Episode 84 overall — Andrew sits down with Bobby Nichols, one of his supervisors at work. Andrew normally keeps pretty quiet while he’s working, so Bobby discovering that he hosted a podcast revealed a side of him that most people at work don’t usually see. Bobby, a big podcast listener himself, reached out about coming on the show, and the result became a conversation about much more than their jobs. Andrew and Bobby talk about worker-supervisor relationships, dealing with different personalities, giving people respect even when you disagree, and finding the balance between doing your job and still treating people like people. They also step completely outside the workplace and get into Bobby’s life as a person, his love of podcasts, what makes certain shows connect with listeners, family, fatherhood, raising two daughters, Girl Scout cookies, and some of the lessons that work and family have taught him along the way. The conversation eventually comes back to a bigger question: When everything is said and done, how do you want people to remember you? That leads into legacy, the bigger picture, and Mental Medicine’s message of ELE — Everybody Love Everybody. You don’t have to agree with everybody. You don’t have to like everybody. But there’s still room for respect, understanding and recognizing the human being on the other side. P.S. We joked about taking the next podcast to the kayaks since Bobby has an extra one. 😂🛶 Kayak podcast episode coming someday… assuming we can keep the equipment out of the water.
