Organizations are filled with people, and people aren't perfect.  At some point, everyone misses a meeting, sends the report late, or forgets to copy someone on an email - all to be expected.  But work in the corporate world long enough and eventually you'll witness some less-than-stellar and, at times, shocking behavior.

Today's episode focuses on exactly this:  you'll hear some wild stories of office behavior gone off the rails.  And, you'll also learn how you can respond and what you can do if you're ever faced with something similar.

The money we earn from our time at the office is what allows us to enjoy life.  But if we're not strategic with what we bring home, things can go off the rails. And when that happens, we wind up in shackles, completely dependent on our employer for our livelihood, and that's a rough place to be.

But, there's good news.  If we're smart with our paychecks, we can break the cycle and increase our financial independence so that we work because we want to, not because we're desperate.  Today's episode will give you some strategies and considerations to help influence the trajectory of your financial future, and, in turn, your whole career.  Enjoy!
