Above My Paygrade
by AboveMyPaygrade
Above My Paygrade is the comedy podcast for anyone who's ever muted themselves to scream during a Teams meeting. We dive headfirst into the absurdity of corporate life—from offsite travel disasters and return-to-office guilt trips to Slack etiquette, horrible bosses, and survival tips for not looking like a total idiot in front of your coworkers. Each episode blends satire, emotional truth, and listener-submitted chaos into segments like “Out of Office Email or Cry for Help?” and riffing on the inevitable Ai takeover. It’s catharsis for the cubicle crowd, therapy for the remote warriors, and a safe space to laugh at the madness we call work. 50% of our waking hours is spent working… that makes us cry a little.. New episodes every week. Bring your PTO requests and emotional baggage.https://abovemypaygradepodcast.comCorporate Lingo: Utilizing professional audio recording equipment, our team of hosts produces a podcast designed to entertain and engage listeners seeking humor.
