About this episode

Kim's birthday prompts reflections on life events and workplace challenges, including feedback on assistants and gender perceptions in the restaurant industry.

It's Kim's birthday and she's coming to the realization that she might be a "birthday girl." Kim and Kate reminisce on all of Kim's life events that Kate has had to miss due to having babies. They talk to a caller who is dealing with someone else's bad assistant and isn't sure if it's appropriate to give feedback. Then, they answer an email question from a producer whose boss has ADHD and needs constant reminders about everything. Finally, they advise a female restaurant manager who keeps being mistaken for a server or hostess. Everyone's lives are changed forever, and the workplace is improved for all involved.
