From HR nightmares to baffling corporate jargon, we offer a sardonic, tongue-in-cheek exploration of modern workplaces, office politics, and the occasional managerial farce. If you’ve ever endured an interminable Zoom, winced at the word “synergy,” or suspected your role could be performed by a particularly competent goldfish, this show is for you. With sharp wit, real-world anecdotes, and a healthy dose of satirical scrutiny, we reveal the art of how not to do business. Because sometimes, when work is this ridiculous, laughter is the only sensible response.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T20:19:30.894838+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/brenda-you-re-on-mute-the-podcast-7496522"},"episode":{"title":"Maybe everyone in here wants to sleep with you, but do you know anything about SEO?
