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.

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

Eugene and Stephanie argue gender dynamics.

Mostly we agree, but in the latest Bad Boss Brief (EP 71 Stupid Tricks: Gender Conflict) we talk about the ways in which the gender divide can cause problems at work and at home.

Choose someone and then try to get them to change?

Use your beauty and sexual attractiveness to win at work?

The “tyranny of expectations” and how Sesame Street taught boys to cry. Did that set up a generation of men who cry too easily? Or should men share more and develop more friendships?

Listen in as two old friends talk about the gender divide.

BBB - EP. 02: THE CHARISMATIC LIAR

This episode focuses on how to spot and survive this category of bad boss.

The Bad Boss Brief is a strategic guide on how not to be an asshole at work. An executive and an executive coach talk about bad bosses and how they can be better. We’re also both artists and work in advertising and marketing, and focus on creative leaders and leading people who make cool shit.

Stephanie Peirolo is an executive coach, consultant and writer. Her work has appeared in the ad trades, NPR, the Moth and Reader’s Digest. She’s had plenty of bad bosses and three legal actions settled in her favor. But she believes that even the most unskilled leader can improve. Her Master’s in Transformational Leadership and years of experience as an executive herself, and then an executive coach has given her plenty of tools to help leaders who want to improve.

Eugene S. Robinson is an Assistant Vice President, former Editor-in-Chief (whose mags have won Ozzies, Maggies and SPDs), a winner of an OJA, a writer whose work has appeared in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, GQ, Vice, Corporate Computing, and the author of Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass Kicking But Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking (Harper Collins). Did we mention he sings for OXBOW? Well, we just did.

For more tidbits from their worlds, you can follow Stephanie on insta @speirolo and read her at consigliera.substack.com. Follow Eugene on twitter @EugeneSRobinson & you can read him at eugenesrobinson.substack.com aka: 'Look What You Made Me Do!' He is mrsleep3 on insta, & hosts 'The Eugene S.

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.
