From the Colson Whitehead article in the NYTimes

“Some people say, “I just use it (AI) to brainstorm ideas.” If you don’t know what to paint or compose or write, you’re in the wrong job. Art is the business of making up stuff — go make up some stuff.”The Bad Boss Brief is a viewer-supported broadcast. To receive new episodes and support our work, consider becoming a paid subscriber.

Eugene's on tour, calling in from a coffee shop, and we're talking about how to navigate working when your life - or the world - is on fire. We talk about:

– The emotional energy it takes to pretend to be normal when you are not.

– Don't expect your employer to be much help.

– It's ok to allow yourself to be distracted by work.

– Find places where you can be with your people.

If you've got an idea for a show topic, message us here or email us at wtf@badbossbrief.com.

Eugene and Stephanie talk about:

– How do you know if you’re in danger of being laid off? We answer a listener's question and talk 

– PIPs (Performance Improvement Plans) and how to tell a good faith one from a bad faith one

– Why we don’t sue even when we could 

– What the face of your boss’s spouse can tell you about your professional future. 

– And Eugene’s newest fashion accessory

Listen now and drop a note in the comments about what decisions you are making right now. 

Eugene and Stephanie talk about:

- The Potential Trap, where you stay because there’s “so much potential”

- Giving yourself permission to leave by challenging your ideas around quitting

- Why you can’t push rope

- Good reasons to stay in a bad situation

- The Two Year Rule - if these are your last two years of your life, will you be glad you spent it doing what you are doing?

- How being broke in your youth can impact you for the rest of your life

- What to do if fear of finances makes you ignore important money issues

Eugene and Stephanie argue gender dynamics.

Mostly we agree, but in the latest Bad Boss Brief (EP 71 Stupid Tricks: Gender Conflict) we talk about the ways in which the gender divide can cause problems at work and at home.

Choose someone and then try to get them to change?

Use your beauty and sexual attractiveness to win at work?

The “tyranny of expectations” and how Sesame Street taught boys to cry. Did that set up a generation of men who cry too easily? Or should men share more and develop more friendships?

Listen in as two old friends talk about the gender divide.
