Is your boss treating your annual leave requests like personal betrayals? This week on BIZ Inbox, Em Vernem and Sarah Davidson dive into the art of taking time off without the side order of workplace guilt.
Then we solve the surprisingly tricky etiquette of professional voicemail greetings (yes, they still matter!), and reveal the one word that's undermining women's authority in meetings everywhere – you probably said it thirteen times today without even noticing.

Welcome to BIZ Inbox, your go-to workplace advice podcast where awkward career questions get real-world solutions. The place to learn how to stop apologising, to set boundaries and to present yourself confidently.
If you want your work life issue solved, send us a voice note or email us at [email protected]. You can be anon!
