Show notes

When’s the last time you got critical feedback at a job? Feedback is a gift and yet research shows that there’s a mismatch between how much we, as employees, want versus what we’re currently getting from bosses. That’s why we’ve invited the expert on giving (and receiving) effective feedback, Therese Huston, a Ph.D. and author of Let’s Talk: Make Effective Feedback Your Superpower to share the three types of feedback, advice for approaching feedback talks, and even what to do if the tears start rolling easily.

Employee Double-Dipping: Should You Work Two Remote Jobs at The Same Time? Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

Double dipping is a new career trend in which employees balance two jobs at once. Over the pandemic, this trend has become increasingly popular as people experienced layoffs, downsizes, or loss of health insurance. But how sustainable is having two jobs? In this episode, we interviewed two anonymous employees who are living the double dipping lifestyle to hear about what made them take on two jobs, how they manage both jobs, when they have time to sleep and much more. So if you’ve ever contemplated taking on two (or more) jobs at once, listen in.
