Episode 19: Per My Last Email: Workplace Icks, Corporate Speak & Unwritten Rules

<p>“We need to talk.” 🚩</p><p>Okay…but about WHAT?!</p><p>This week on <strong>Not a Lonely Coffee Break</strong>, Maddie and Meaghan are diving into <strong>workplace icks, corporate speak, and all those unwritten rules nobody actually included in the employee handbook.</strong></p><p>What’s the difference between a boundary, an expectation, and something that just annoys the hell out of you? We’re talking context-free Teams messages, unnecessary meetings, surprise calendar invites, “we’re a family” workplaces, unexpected phone calls, flexible schedules, and the coworkers who somehow turn their emergency into everyone’s emergency.</p><p>Then we translate some classic corporate language: “circle back,” “gentle reminder,” “per my last email,” “that’s an interesting perspective,” and more. Because sometimes being direct would save all of us a LOT of overthinking.</p><p>But underneath the workplace icks is a bigger question: <strong>How many “rules” at work have we created for ourselves and then expected everyone else to magically know?</strong></p><p>Grab your coffee and join us for a funny, slightly unhinged, and very relatable conversation about communication, boundaries, workplace etiquette, and why sometimes you just need to SAY WHAT YOU MEAN.</p><p>☕ What’s your biggest workplace ick or least favorite corporate phrase? We want to hear it!</p><p><strong>Coffee and work, but make it queer. 🏳️‍🌈</strong></p>
