TODAY'S AGENDA AND NOTES:
One of our own behaved badly ... with a pumpkin! And it cost her a job!
Inappropriate behavior, like the CEO and Chief People Officer at McDonald's creating a party atmosphere at work, is the big agenda-item for today. (Happy Meal, anyone?)
We also discuss power dynamics in such situations, where employees may feel uncomfortable or unable to report inappropriate behavior due to the positions of the individuals involved.
This week's sponsors are:
