Jo didn’t break the rules. They just couldn’t see the ones no one wrote down.

After making a thoughtful suggestion, they were removed from the project alias. When they filled a workflow gap, they were accused of overstepping…by someone they’d never met.

In the debut episode of Humans in the Loop, we explore what happens when neurodivergent professionals contribute with clarity and initiative, only to face conflict, confusion, and quiet exclusion. This story unpacks the unspoken norms of workplace communication, the hidden cost of “reading the room,” and what happens when permission matters more than impact.

Perfect for listeners interested in workplace inclusion, psychological safety, and neurodiversity at work.
