Advice on everything from corporate bullying, asking for a raise while others are being laid off, dealing with sexual harassment, racial insensitivity,  or how to get a tech job with a liberal arts degree?  We like to keep it real and address the tough questions from real people and based on real life situations.  

That's why we are Tech Expresso Cafe - we deal with the bold and intense topics related to Technology, Careers/Business & Leadership.
