The Employee Uprising: What Happened at Crisis Text Line?
In this Workplace Series episode, we look into what happened at Crisis Text Line in 2020, where employees bravely spoke out about their then-CEO, Nancy Lublin. It was a real shocker, considering this nonprofit is all about mental health and saving lives. What unfolded behind closed doors was a grim reflection of a more common issue within companies, but what set this apart was the employees' decision to take their concerns to social media. Join us for an engaging discussion as we explore how social media is becoming a game-changer for holding organizations accountable and hear our take on the whole Crisis Text Line saga.

Shattered Dreams: When Hopes Sour and Illusions Crumble In The Workplace, Part 2 of 2
We've all experienced that initial burst of optimism and anticipation when starting a new job, only to be caught off guard by the realities of the workplace. We start to see red flags, but continue to hold onto hope, believing that things will improve as we adjust and find ways to cope. What are you willing to put up with and when do you draw the line? When is it me and when am I being gaslit by managers and leaders? Join us for a candid discussion on the ups and downs of the actual employee lifecycle - venting session style!
----------------
We’re a tight-knit crew of working professionals joining forces to share our workplace stories. We understand the never-ending pressures of trying to make our workplaces better and fixing a system that’s not quite up to par. Exhausting, right? So, how about we hit the pause button for a sec and create a safe space to just vent? Sometimes, we just need to embrace the honest truth and have heart-to-heart chats about the everyday realities of work. After all, we're all in this together, as imperfectly awesome humans 😌. And who knows, we might stumble across some 💡 moments along the way, too :)
