Episodes

S1 E14: From PowerPoints to Popcorn - The Corporate Movie Multiverse 10.10.2025

We’re connecting the dots between The Wolf of Wall Street’s coke-fueled capitalism 💸 and Parks and Rec’s government-employee chaos 🗂️ — because somehow, both explain your burnout. In this episode, we deep-dive into: why The Big Short is just econ class with memes how The Office became the blueprint for surviving meetings and why Gen Z’s “short attention span” might actually be an HR survival inst...

From teaching spin classes to flipping finds on Poshmark to secret shopping, Gen Z professionals are turning their “after hours” into serious side income. In this episode, we dive into the side hustles that are redefining what it means to work outside the 9-to-5 — and how people are balancing their corporate careers with their entrepreneurial grind.

S1 E12: Trick or Tech - The IT We Love to Hate 25.09.2025

This week we’re leaning into spooky season with the IT scaries. From crashing Wi-Fi to ghosted Zoom invites, we’re breaking down the tech at work that haunts us — and the tools we secretly love.

Tune in for laughs, relatable chaos, and maybe a surviv...

S1 E11: Corporate Draft Picks - Fantasy Football, CEOs & Jobs That Shouldn’t Exist 18.09.2025

Forget the quarterly report — everyone’s stressed about their fantasy football lineup. This week we break down how office productivity takes a nosedive once the draft board goes up. But it’s not all touchdowns: we’re also talking about the Nestlé CEO scandal that’s got corporate ethics on blast, and the weirdest, most unnecessary jobs we’ve spotted in the workplace.

S1 E10: Crashed Out by Covid, Careers, and Clout 11.09.2025

Covid rates are creeping back up, the job market feels like a bad game of musical chairs, and now AI is gunning for both your 9-to-5 and your favorite influencers’ brand deals. In this episode, we crash out on all the chaos: what another Covid wave means for corporate life, why the job hunt is giving “survival mode,” and how AI might replace both accountants and Instagram it-girls. Buckle up—becau...

S1 E9: Interview Jump Scares 28.08.2025

In this episode, we break down the jump scares of the interview world: the types of interviews you’ll face, the questions that make you want to black out, and the pet peeves that haunt both sides of the table. From panel interviews that feel like a courtroom to the dreaded “tell me about yourself,” we’ve got stories, laughs, and survival tips to help you dodge the chaos.

S1 E8: Apply Early or Cry Later 14.08.2025

Ready to land that job or internship without having a meltdown at 11:59 PM? In this episode, we spill the tea on when to actually apply (spoiler: earlier than you think), how to keep your deadlines straight, and the easiest ways to stay organized so you don’t ghost your own career goals. From spreadsheet hacks to calendar tricks, we’ll help you turn the chaos of applications into a well-timed powe...

S1 E7: Life in the Cube - Coworkers, Cubicle Decor, and Corporate Survival 07.08.2025

This week we're taking you inside the cubicle — literally. From passive-aggressive desk signs to questionable décor choices, we break down what it's really like to work in an open office. We talk about the types of coworkers you'll meet in the wild (hi, standing desk guy), how to survive the workday with your sanity intact, and the unspoken rules of cubicle life.

S1 E6: Buzzwords and BS - Surviving the Resumé Olympics 31.07.2025

Before LinkedIn, there was Katie’s 5th grade acting resumé. In this episode, we start with the delusional origins of our first-ever CVs and dive into the world of real resumés: what actually works, what screams unhinged, and how to spin your experiences when you feel like you don’t have any.

S1 E5: Coldplay Nightmares - CEOs and Scandals 24.07.2025

From billion-dollar frauds to quiet cover-ups, we break down the juiciest stories of C-suite executives who flew too close to the golden parachute. We also expose which corporate functions are most (and least) likely to cheat—because let’s be real, not all departments play by the same rules.

S1 E4: Cover Letters and Bouncers - Entry Level Rejection Culture 17.07.2025

Getting a job now feels like trying to get into a frat party — internships are the pregame and rejection is just part of the vibe. We unpack why it’s so hard to break in, how applying for jobs became a full-time job itself, and what it says about corporate culture when ghosting is the standard. If you've ever felt like your application didn’t even make it past the metaphorical bouncer, this on...

S1 E3: Fit Checked by HR – Our Corporate Icks 10.07.2025

We’re talking office fits — are sneakers too chill? Are heels a hazard? Do backpacks scream freshman intern? From skirt lengths to blazers (do we even still wear those?), we’re unpacking the silent chaos of workwear. Dress codes? Couldn’t be us. For more info check out: https://linktr.ee/corporatecrashout

S1 E2: Stalk, Slide, Succeed - LinkedIn Secrets No One Tells You 10.07.2025

Yes, LinkedIn stalking is a skill — and we’re here to turn you into a certified lurker. We’re spilling all the hacks: how to job hunt without spiral-scrolling, finesse your free trial of Premium, get that cute lil blue badge, and DM like a pro. Oh, and how to post without getting ghosted. Your dream job? Yeah, we’re coming for it (quietly... via LinkedIn). For more info check out: https://linktr.e...

S1 E1: Glow Up Your LinkedIn - Profile Hacks That Get You Noticed 10.07.2025

Your LinkedIn is basically your digital résumé and your personal hype page — so let’s make it hit. We’re talking how to write a tagline with actual vibe, flex your experience without sounding like a robot, and post your wins without being that person. Plus, we get into privacy settings (because not everyone needs to see your updates, Kathy). It’s giving professional, but make it aesthetic. For mor...
