a.k.a. how NOT to quit in a blaze of glory. 

Welcome aboard the Corporate America plane — where everyone has competing interests, but you still have to work together.

No matter what, never forget: you are always on interview footing.

It's time to learn Vanessa's favorite question.

Don’t worry — there are steps.

Tired of working for “The Man”? Don't quit. Make “The Man” work for you.

Gifting around the office can be thoughtful… OR… slightly weird and misguided. Take our hand and let’s get to the new year in one piece.

Ever had a coworker act like they’re your manager? That’s a solvable problem, but spoiler alert: your coworker is kinda doing a great job.

Did the recruiter tell you to follow up? Then follow up.

First time giving a performance review and your company has provided zero direction? We got you.

How do you get credit for your impact in Corporate America, without being a Pick Me Girl?

You’re in charge. Act like it.

There’s a very simple way to tell when it’s time to fire someone. Here's what to do about the results.

If you’re planning for a full quarter’s worth of work in Q4, plan again — Q4 is Corporate America’s shortest quarter.

Internal promotions are the best kind of promotion inside Corporate America, so if you've just received an invitation to interview internally, take it.

When it comes to changing careers, you gotta start at the bottom. You can learn, burn, and level up quickly, and the best way to do that is in a small market (red feather boa optional).

A.k.a. know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, and never forget what you want.

Is your co-worker really your co-worker if they don’t actually…work?

Vanessa’s only here for the blooper content, and it shows.

We’ve talked about how to handle vendors that won’t leave you alone (see Episode 96, a.k.a. Vanessa’s rant about “breakup emails”), but how do you let down gently a great vendor you just can’t work with right now?
