I Know I Shouldn't Be Saying This, But...

A podcast episode about gossip in your workplace. Tune in for the goods and the bads of bottom-up and side-to-side human exchange.

This week’s Mode/Switch Pod eavesdrops on, ya know, that office we’re all supposed to be returning to. And what we’re hearin’ is good ole-fashioned gossip.

Boomer Ken, Xers David & Craig, Xillennial Emily, and Gen Z guest Gabe Mayes tell stories, share research, and swap advice about workplace whispers.

(TLDR? We discuss what gossip means and what it does on the job.)

So, if your coffee’s gone cold today, we got you! Press play on some audio caffeine and get something good to share around the office.

Stay for our Spell It Out feature, too, in which we discuss a new phenomenon in workplace culture: The Hushed Hybrid.

And don’t miss our a bonus segment, after the closing theme, when we taste-test MrBeast’s chocolate. (If you missed our beast mode episode, you can catch it here!)
