About this episode
The episode explores the complexities of having a work crush and its implications in the context of modern office culture post-MeToo.
Some episodes are about the state of the world. This one is about the state of the back office. Today I get honest about what a work crush actually does for you, where the line is between harmless and not, and what the post-MeToo moment quietly took from office culture. Plus: eighth grade reinvention and a closing song.
