Season 2 | Episode 44 | The One With the Thirst Trap

This week on How I Failed in Business, things get slightly inappropriate.

We kick things off with an unexpected apology from Meg... what for exactly is still up for debate, but it felt necessary. Whether it’s accountability or damage control… we’ll let you decide.

From there, we unpack a couple of recent events we've worked — the good, the bad, and the mistakes we absolutely should have seen coming. We share a series of near-disasters involving our new (and very expensive) kit almost getting lost, broken and/or both. These are stories of panic, responsibility, and the sudden realisation that things could've gone very wrong!

Naturally, the conversation takes a strange turn into *special* romance playlists — what songs belong on them, what definitely don’t, and why some choices raise serious questions about people’s judgement.

And finally, we bring back Grievance Gurus, where this week’s complaints revolve around one very modern workplace phenomenon: thirst traps. Are they harmless fun? Strategic personal branding? Or something your colleagues really didn’t need to see on LinkedIn?

In this episode, expect:

• A public apology from Meg 🙃
• Near - disasters & rising blood pressure 😅
• The do’s and don’ts of romance playlists 🎶
• The songs getting 20 something corporate girlies through the day 🩷✨
• Workplace thirst traps under investigation 🚩
