LinkedIn: Facebook in a Blazer? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Somewhere between the humble-brag "gratitude posts," the AI-generated hot takes, and the DMs that are definitely a scam, LinkedIn lost the plot. In this episode, Marci, Ami, and LaToya dig into the wild, weird, and increasingly unprofessional world of LinkedIn - and yes, they're calling it exactly what it is: Facebook in a blazer. They swap the most unhinged LinkedIn posts they've seen lately, break down how scams and security red flags are quietly eroding trust on the platform, and get real abo

Read excerpt
Quiet quitting. Revenge quitting. Whatever you want to call it - people are checking out, and some of them are checking out loudly on their way to the door. In this episode, Marci, Ami, and LaToya get into why "just be a better manager" isn't cutting it anymore, what generational shifts are actually doing to workplace culture (spoiler: it's not what LinkedIn thought-leaders think it is), and the signs of disengagement most leaders don't catch until someone's already gone. No fluffy retention tip
Your Best People Are Leaving (Because You Promoted Them Out the Door) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your best employee just quit. Not because they were failing, because they were succeeding , and their reward was more work, a bigger title, and zero support. Sound familiar? LaToya, Ami, and Marci break down why companies keep burning out the exact people they can't afford to lose: the real difference between high performers and high potentials (hint: they're not the same person, stop treating them like they are), why Gartner says only 15% of your talent is truly "top" and why that's fine, the q
