Above My Paygrade

Jeremy & Jimmy kick off their brand‑new Friday Lunchbreak edition of the Above My Paygrade Podcast — releasing every Friday at noon to help you mentally clock out early.

They start the show with a shout‑out to all the Friday Zombies out there: the people who are physically present at work but spiritually gone, staring at their screens like they’re waiting for a loading bar that never moves.

Then they break down the two types of Friday employees:

1) The “I give zero fucks” crew who make it painfully obvious they’re not doing a single ounce of work today.

2) The “I swear I’m busy” performers who suddenly enter Friday Clean‑Up Mode, aggressively organizing their desk, wiping down monitors, and straightening pens because it’s easier than touching one more TPS report.

The guys close out the episode with Corporate Ways to Say Rude Things: translating real emotions into HR‑approved language. It’s petty, it’s accurate, and it’s painfully relatable.

Happy Friday, bitches.

We are going to be posting new Odd Jobs every Wednesday from now on. This week we talk about a job that used to exist.... Corporate Bathroom Attendant.

This is the job you get when your guidance counselor hates you.

Jeremy & Jimmy are back! It’s one of those weeks where corporate life feels like a full‑contact sport. Jeremy and Jimmy kick things off talking about how chaotic last week was — the kind of chaos that makes you want to “call in dead” instead of calling in sick.

With a holiday this week, they break down the guaranteed wave of coworkers who will mysteriously “come down with something” on Wednesday… even though everyone heard them bragging about their plans all last week. Then they dive into the office legends who take a vacation and pretend to be sick at the end just to squeeze out one more day of PTO or a fake work‑from‑home day.

They also tackle the PTO doomsday preppers — the people who hoard vacation hours like they’re stocking a bunker, panic‑spend PTO at the end of the year, or treat rollover deadlines like the corporate Hunger Games.

It’s a full episode of workplace nonsense. For more, visit www.abovemypaygradepodcast.com

We are changing things up a bit starting this week ;)

New episodes Monday and Wednesday at 7:00am and Friday at noon (perfect for fucking off in the middle of the work day).

Preview of the latest Above My Paygrade Podcast

After surviving a national meeting with over 500 people, Jeremy returns home physically broken and sounding like a man who swallowed a gravel smoothie. In this episode, we unpack the true cost of corporate travel: the exhaustion, the time‑zone whiplash, the questionable buffet food, and the moment your voice gives up on you entirely.

Jimmy immediately seizes the opportunity to roast Jeremy’s new vocal identity over and over which is very hurtful (He should be ashamed)

Plus, Jeremy & Jimmy share their Post‑Travel Survival Tips, a guide for anyone who’s ever returned from a work trip feeling 20 years older and 40% dehydrated.

If you’ve ever dragged yourself home from a corporate event wondering why your body feels like it was hit by a bus full of sales reps, this episode is your emotional support animal.

In this brutally honest kickoff to the new year, Jeremy and Jimmy break down the corporate myth that “Q1 is a fresh start” when, in reality, it’s just last year’s nonsense with a new calendar. We dig into how companies pretend they’re reinventing themselves while quietly recycling the same broken processes, the same empty promises, and the same leaders insisting “this year will be different.” We talk through the annual corporate purge, where org charts get shaken like a snow globe and everyone pretends it’s “strategic.” We roast the lazy coworkers who suddenly act hyper‑productive because bonus season is approaching and they need to look alive. And of course, we unpack the fresh batch of Mandatory Trainings — including some strange questions and thoughts about the sexual harassment trainings.

If you’re already exhausted by Q1, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and slightly less alone in the corporate circus.

Jeremy & Jimmy are happy to announce that new weekly episodes will launch this Monday 2/16!

This week we break down and the same ol' crap that goes on every year during Q1. Disappearing coworkers, last year's failed ideas with a new fancy title and the joy of receiving this year's 47 mandatory training modules. Yay. Work.

It’s the most chaotic time of the fiscal year… and we’re here to unwrap it. Corporate holiday parties: the gift that keeps on disappointing. In this special edition, we roast what makes them unbearable, share survival rules for staying out of trouble, read listener‑submitted horror stories, and unveil the Official Holiday Party Agreement — your handbook for not becoming the office legend of shame. And for some reason... we talk a lot of shit about HR.

Whether you’re dodging mistletoe, plotting your Irish goodbye, or just trying to survive until January, this episode is your satirical handbook for corporate holiday chaos.
