About this listen
In this episode of Under NDA, guest Nicole joins us to unpack two classic corporate trainwrecks:
Story 1: “Bonuses for Who?”
A consulting firm calls an all-hands to celebrate record-breaking performance—then tells employees there won’t be any bonuses. The message? Leadership is thriving… you’re just lucky to have a job.
Story 2: “Failing Upward”
Meet Brad: a manager with zero EQ, vague feedback, and a knack for taking credit for other people’s work. Naturally, he gets promoted—and his team breathes a collective sigh of relief.
We dig into performative leadership, the myth of meritocracy, and how companies keep getting management so, so wrong.
