In this highly-requested episode, we’re going to discuss the question everyone’s asked at some point: Can you trust your coworkers?

Because I’m a Machiavellian Barbie and not just some sheep, I’m going to go WAY deeper than anyone ever has when discussing this question. We’ll talk about:

• Why the workplace rewards the worst of human nature
• The scarcity mindset that fuels workplace competition
• Why the workplace is a dictatorship
• How companies use industry jargon to manipulate reality
• 9 types of people to watch out for
• 10 ways to protect yourself

9 types of people to watch out for:

1. Anyone who’s overly friendly (17:20)
2. Anyone who’s quiet while others are sharing (18:29)
3. Anyone who gossips to you (19:07)
4. Women who are your polar opposite (19:51)
5. Anyone who’s insecure (23:44)
6. Anyone who gets easily defensive/dodges accountability (24:48)
7. Anyone who ties their identity to their job (25:40)
8. Anyone who has no way out (e.g. kids, mortgage) (26:57)
9. Anyone who makes you doubt yourself (28:45)

10 ways to protect yourself:

1. Document everything (30:48)
2. Don’t share anything that can be leverage (31:38)
3. Control your emotional leakage (32:53)
4. Observe like your life depends on it (33:43)
5. Don’t be afraid to lie (35:24)
6. Have an exit plan (36:33)
7. Decouple your value from your job (38:03)
8. Be conditional with your loyalty (39:54)
9. Blend in on the outside, revolt on the inside (42:23)
10. Always trust your instinct (44:00)

🎙️ About the podcast: The patriarchy is starting to crumble, but sadly it probably won't be fully dismantled in our lifetime. In this podcast, I help women exploit the system's loopholes while finding the hidden ways the patriarchy conditions us to leak our power. Because guess what? Power isn't given, it's either taken or created. And it's time to take back the power the patriarchy stole from us.
