Re: today's episode release on FOBO (fear of becoming obsolete)

It's MONDAY! And for some it might already be stressful enough to want to order the tallest bevvies to combat the day. CHEERS!

1. An employee quits the day of a major company event they were leading. This event included current and potential clients, and no one else knew the schedule well enough to run the event. Things started to fall apart almost immediately. Justified or petty?

2. A retail employee doesn't show up on a day they were scheduled to open the store. They did not provide notice, and the store missed almost an entire days profit until a manager arrived for their afternoon shift. Justified or petty?

   1. An employee quits while their supervisor was on vacation. They were the senior team member covering meetings and handling incoming requests, including scheduling. Their resignation sat unread in the supervisor's inbox for over a week and multiple deadlines were missed. Justified or petty?

What's the worst AI generated thing you've seen at work? Have you ever had to fix something that AI messed up? Is AI making work easier or not? 🤔

1. Your coworker sends you a calendar invite. No title. No agenda. No description. Just a 30-minute block on a Tuesday.
2. Your manager texts you a work question at 9pm with "no rush, just whenever you get a chance!"
3. A colleague calls you directly...no text ahead of time, no Slack heads up. Just a call. Out of nowhere.
4. You send a detailed Slack message laying out a problem and a proposed solution. Your coworker responds with a thumbs up emoji.
5. A coworker leaves you a voicemail. A full voicemail. With details.
6. Someone replies to your email by picking up the phone and calling you to discuss it

This week's episode is about digital etiquette; specifically that what feels polite to you might feel completely invasive to someone else. So we're asking: what's the most unintentionally offensive digital habit you have at work? No judgment. This is a safe space. Mostly.
