In this episode of The Bad Boss Brief, we discuss:

- how judgement can help you set good boundaries

- can judgement and forgiveness co-exist

In this episode, we talk about what and if you really want to know. Do you want to know if your partner has cheated? Do you care how many people they had sex with before you? Or it is better to just not know?

Please note that we do talk, briefly, about Gisele Pelicot’s new memoir discussing her rapes and horrific abuse by her husband and others.

And no, we’re not going to tell you what Eugene reminded Stephanie of at the end of the episode and what we discussed after we turned off the recording.

We answer your questions on surviving a lay off, using your words and freelance vs full time foolishness.

You, our favorite listeners, sent in some great questions and we get to some of them in this episode.

How does a man who was laid off from his public health job after budget cuts do better in interviews?

 What happens when your boss or co-workers don’t use their words but expect you to anticipate their needs? Eugene and Stephanie have different experiences with and decide it is gendered.

You’re freelance and left out of the loop by your full time co-workers. What can you do? Hint – working across time zones with an international team should never be this hard.

Eugene and Stephanie talk about why they don’t use AI in their creative work, how AI has changed the notion of ownership, but not the fact that people who claim other artist’s work as their own should be roundly shamed and wonder if someone in the future is going to be surprised that writers like Eugene and Stephanie actually wrote their own s**t, from scratch, without AI?

From the Colson Whitehead article in the NYTimes

“Some people say, “I just use it (AI) to brainstorm ideas.” If you don’t know what to paint or compose or write, you’re in the wrong job. Art is the business of making up stuff — go make up some stuff.”The Bad Boss Brief is a viewer-supported broadcast. To receive new episodes and support our work, consider becoming a paid subscriber.

- Can you reframe your metrics for success to make sure they are accurate?

Stupid Men tricks? Stupid Women Tricks? Stupid Relationship Tricks?

Choose someone and then try to get them to change?

Use your beauty and sexual attractiveness to win at work?
