In Corporate America, it’s tempting to think you’ve gotta keep your a$$ in your seat. But that’s simply not the case.

So if you need to make a personal call to the bank, the doctor, or literally anyone else during the work day, just know: you don’t have to do it in the bathroom.

In this episode, Vanessa & Holland walk you through how to deal with the team happy hour or the department dinner whether you’re an alcohol nerd, completely sober, or somewhere in between.

Welcome to Ask Your Work Wife, a new podcast where Vanessa & Holland answer your real questions about real work in corporate America. Covering topics from quitting to interviewing to negotiating to resumes and meetings. It’s about knowing the rules of the game so you can get what you want.
