Forget chocolates and roses—Stella and Roberta are serving up a brew of workplace reality in the Toxic Tea Room podcast. This episode, they're dissecting the love-hate dynamics of Valentine's Day and how it mirrors our relationships with toxic work practices. From the passive-aggressive notes to the stifling effect of micromanagement, they're spilling the tea on what makes workplaces tick... or explode. Get ready for a dose of tough love and hard truths that will make you rethink your office dynamics.
Your hosts will cover off-putting toxicity like office romances (and the subsequent favoritism), micro-management ("Don't stand/Don't stand so/Don't stand so close to me"), poor communication (why speak when you can scream?) and many more. Grab your coffee or champagne glass- we don't judge here- and commiserate with the Queens of Anti-Mean. Wait- is that even a thing? Who is writing the show notes this week? Seek help, for heaven's sake!
