We know. Talking about work? It should be left at work, right? Wrong. The average person spends 90,000 hours at work during their lifetime. Are you telling us that there aren't some sordid stories to tell for others to savour. The gripes, the universal grudges, the "I can't believe they just said that" angry typing on the work chat. When your partner or friend tells you they don't want to hear about work - don't worry, we do. When you're told not to bring work home, bring it to us instead.
Just don't forget to CC US IN - tell management@ccusin.com.
Co-hosted by two friends who met at work, tried and failed to start a business together, tried and failed to start a podcast together (the first time), and spend 80% of our time together chatting about work. This second attempt at a podcast is based on a hunch that there are more of us out there. The people whose friendships are entirely reliant upon them staying employed so they've got something to talk about.
Think you've got a story for us? We want to hear about:
Office dramas - any and all
Colleagues with infuriating habits and rituals
Senior leadership who need to calm the fuck down
Clients that need a reality check
Lunchtime/break survival tactics
Office romances gone rogue
Broken promises - policies, procedures, redundancies
Staff changes - new starters, retirements, fresh blood
Outside of the office - traders, shop owners, public service workers
https://ccusin.com/ (https://ccusin.com/)
Pranks gone wrong, "just having a laugh", explosive rants deemed unworthy of redemption. All, Charlie and Jenie have discovered, are fireable offences.
You have to wonder - is it ever worth being fired over?

6. Office Traitors
It was during office hours, while catching up on season 2 of Celebrity Traitors, that co-hosts Jenie and Charlie realised there's not much difference between the drama going on in that castle and the drama going on in your average workplace.
Think about it, false assumptions, wild accusations, herd mentality and barefaced lies (unless you're Richard E. Grant).
Join us as we get stuck into the second season of Celebrity Traitors so far (episodes 1-7). Unfortunately for most workplaces, it doesn't matter if you're 100% faithful or 100% traitor - you're still 100% not getting £100,000 prize money. Sigh.

4. I've Messed Up (Work Mistakes You Never Forget)
Have you ever messed up at work so badly that your heart plunges into your stomach and out your arse? The moment you relive when you're alone in bed at night, cursing yourself and cringing through every awful second.
Those are the stories Charlie and Jenie are delving into in this week's episode of CC US IN. From recent news-worthy and oh-so-public mess-ups to the day-to-day errors you try to fix while no-one else is looking.
The big question is, what lengths will you go to when you hit send on an email to the wrong colleague? Well listen and find out.
We want to revisit this topic again in a future episode so, do us all a big favour back at HQ and share your story with management@ccusin.com (mailto:manage@ccusin.com)

3. Let's Get Petty
Oh to be petty, one of work life's little luxuries. A way to pass the time, a way to get even, a way to make sure that no minor grievances go unnoticed. This episode gets us out of the toilet (listen to episode 2 if you need a sh*t fix) and onto the office floor, where tensions rise and fall faster than the jobsworth in charge of the aircon.
Jenie invites Charlie to rank these workplace stories on their levels of sheer pettiness. From a kebab order gone wrong to an relentless expenses battle to Charlie's revelation about her own petty habits.
I mean, how petty can you get? Really.
Don't forget to tell us your stories, we want to hear them. Just tell management@ccusin.com (mailto:management@ccusin.com)

2. Phantom Shitters (A Workplace Phenomenon)
There’ll always be differences between colleagues. Any hey - it keeps the workplace interesting. Differences of opinions, lifestyles, hierarchy, payslips, takes on reality.
But the grand equaliser (aside from death) is the need to shit. For some, this is an unremarkable occurrence in daily life but for others, it is a weapon, an art medium or as Charlie has discovered, a way to send a message.
Inspired by episode 1's case of the phantom bogey-wiper, Charlie talks Jennie through the phantom shitter phenomenon that has been known to haunt workplaces. Together, they try to find rhyme or reason for their motive.
Researching this episode meant Charlie found herself wading through Reddit shit to find some golden nuggets.
If you want to send us your own story about a dirty protester, or another juicy work story, you can tell management@ccusin.com (mailto:management@ccusin.com).

1. Clocking In
Consider this your official induction to CC US IN. Two ex-work pals, Jenie and Charlie meet with two crap mics and a prayer to finally record the first episode of a long-talked-about dream to start a podcast together.
Yes, it's 2026. We know the podcast bubble has burst but, we don't want to lay on our deathbeds (probably together if Charlie has her way) and say "we never did make that podcast." So here we are.
EPISODE MINUTES
Audio: we know it's crap. Stick around for episode 2 onwards, by then the real mics have arrived.
Length: you can listen this 4 times on your average 1hr lunch break, twice if you work in public services.
What do we talk about? to get started, we revisit some golden moments from our first workplace together (1 of 3 in total). We tackle the case of the phantom bogey-wiper, the tale of the tea stirrer and TMI sick notes.
It's short, it's scrappy (just like Charlie) and it's the start of something we've been thinking on for yearsss.
If you want to send in your stories, don't forget to CC US IN and tell management@ccusin.com (mailto:management@ccusin.com)
Our short and scrappy website is www.ccusin.com (http://www.ccusin.com)
