Work Drama

Episode 12 — Lost Aaaand Found Season 1 Finale Small insurance office. Second floor of an old brick building downtown. And directly below it — a pub. Every Thursday at 5:01, the whole office walks downstairs and calls it the office culture. But one Thursday night, someone walks back up. The office is dark. The office deshevled. And at the end of the hall — there's a thin line of light glowing under the bathroom door. What happens in the dark always comes to the light. Names changed. Jobs protected. Opinions very much included. _________________________________________________________________________ Have your own work drama?

Welcome to WORK DRAMA Episode 11 — Drama Starts Early! One episode away from the Season 1 finale. And today’s work bestie of the day? Seven years old. It turns out everything we’ve unpacked this season — the power trips, the people who insert themselves where they don’t belong, the ones who just refuse to calm down — none of that starts at the office. It starts a whole lot earlier. Today’s story comes straight from second grade. And it has everything. Names changed. Jobs protected. Opinions very much included. Have your own work drama? Don’t be shy, submit it and become the next Work Bestie — we’re just getting started! After leaving her in-person medical job for remote work, Lizbeth realized she wasn’t going to miss the commute, but she was absolutely going to miss the work drama.

So today it’s just Lizbeth, the group chat, and a very special pre-recorded guest who has some things to say about a boy named Leo. __________________________________________________________________ Find us on Tiktok Lizbeth's New Business → The Brand Formula ___________________________________________________________________ Submitting Work Drama Stories: • Name the industry • Roles/Job Titles - if important to the story • The Drama (what happened?) • The Outcome If you have already anonymized your story, just let us know!

Welcome to WORK DRAMA Episode 10 — Could’ve Been An Email! This episode, they’re unpacking a story from a medical office where the meetings never stop. Two, sometimes three a week. Always last minute. Always about what someone did wrong. And somewhere between the meetings, the reports, and the corrections delivered mid-shift — One afternoon in a hallway changes everything. Not for Renee. For the patient on the other side of the door. Names changed. Jobs protected. Opinions very much included. This week, Sharon is out of the office — and the guest stepping in couldn’t be more fitting for today’s story. Dr. Darian Dozier is a resident physician, future Cardiologist, a growing voice on TikTok at @dr.queen_D (linked), and someone who has navigated the politics of one of the most hierarchical work environments that exists. She’s not just reacting to this story — she’s lived a version of it. And she has thoughts.

Welcome to WORK DRAMA Episode 9 — Thou Shall Not Speak! This one drops on International Friendship Day. Which makes it hit a little different. Because this episode is about a workplace that hung its values on the wall — grace, integrity, community — and a friendship that felt real. Until it wasn't. Myra trusted the institution. She trusted the friend. And when things fell apart, neither one of them showed up the way she thought they would. She didn't even get a phone call. Just an email. Terms attached. Silence required.
