The Backlog | Episode 1

Someone showed up to work one day and discovered a 1,300-message backlog — and nobody noticed. In this debut episode, hosts Ashlea Hitchcock-Francis and Tia McLaurin open the first anonymous nonprofit confession: a story about what happens when understaffing, chronic underfunding, and organizational chaos collide in the most avoidable way possible. If you've ever inherited someone else's mess — or been the mess — this one's for you. Anonymous nonprofit workplace confessions, unfiltered. Got nonprofit chaos?
