Work Trap

This one's all about Risky Business. What does the movie teach us? Living in privilege in a high income suburb really sets you up for success. What if you're not Joel from Glencoe? How does your career and the risks you take effect your future? I guess sometimes you just have to say what the heck.

This is the second episode of the third season. This time we're reviewing the movie Up In The Air. We discuss the situations in the move that we all face at work: firings, travel, emerging technologies, and probably much more! You'll hear our takes on being fired, letting people go, what you can do to prepare, and if we could do what George Clooney's character does.  Also, we have a Patreon account.

Welcome to season 3! In this installment of Work Trap we'll discuss popular movies and how they relate to the workplace. What do we love about them, what they portray correctly, what they get wrong, and much more! Some movies may be an obvious choice to relate to work and some may surprise you. Stick around and join us on this journey. First episode is all about one of our favorite movies; hopefully you can guess from the episode title. If not, well you'll just have to listen anyways. 

Folks, this is it... our last episode of the second season discussing the seven deadly sins. We think this is the sexiest sin of them all. Listen to this episode to find out what our most "proud" moments are, what pride means in the workplace, and much more. The season ends how it started: with Adam being our gracious guest.  We'll be back next week with season 3! Exciting stuff coming!

What's the difference between envy and jealousy? Well, you won't find the answer in this episode. However, we'll discuss the things we envy at work, how envy can complicate relationships, and much more! We also got a bit off topic and discussed the concept of the two week notice when leaving a job, but it was good so we kept it in. It's our gift to you.

Are you a wrathful person or do work problems not faze you? Is this the most relatable sin for the most of us? It sure is for Harry! Listen to this episode to find out what you can do to turn those wrathful thoughts into work successes. Wrath can be a drive to excel at work, but it can also burn many bridges.  Website: http://worktrappod.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/worktrappod Instagram: https://instagram.com/worktrappod

Sloth isn't just an animal. It's also one of the deadly sins. Who knew? Listen to this episode to find out what sloth means in the workplace and the best/worst examples of it. We'd go into more detail, but honestly we're too lazy to do so. We were hoping the episode description would write itself. Don't be lazy; listen, rate, and subscribe to Work Trap!

Greed! What is it good for! Absolutely everything! Your lovely and very good looking hosts discuss the types of greed we experience in the workplace. We start the episode with Harry being a moral crusader and end it with him converted to a first rate greedy a-hole.  Whether it's personal or corporate greed, it's all around us. After listening to this episode you'll realize that you're greedy as well, in situations that you may not have even noticed.

We're back with the 2nd episode of the 7 deadly sins; this time with gluttony! We discuss gluttons in the workplace, like the people who show up at 6am to show off, people who live and work beyond their means, and so much more. Towards the end Andy and Eddy get pissed at Harry for not having watched a very classic movie.

Welcome to season 2! Each episode will revolve around the 7 deadly sins and how they relate to the workplace. The first one is lust. We discuss different types of lust, if it's good (it is), and our favorite examples.  Topics: what is lust, have you lusted for anyone, what's your best office romance experience, where does lust end and harassment begin, is there a god, is Excel lust...

Folks, it's the season finale! Yes, we have seasons. Yes, we'll be back in a couple of weeks. We discuss people who stay at their job too long, and why you shouldn't do that. We'll tell you how to get out of that rut We'll tell you how to unwind after work. Harry admitted to having a drinking problem, we think? Eddy hates Ja Rule. Make sure you listen to the very end, there's a delightful surprise! Instagram: https:/instagram.com/worktrappod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/worktrappod

This one's all about work etiquette (sure hope I spelled that right). We debate if you should wash your hands in the bathroom, how long you can stare at a guy in the urinal next to you, and so on. How should you send e-mails; or should you send them at all? Finally, we discuss the dos and don'ts of using social media at work. Hint: delete facebook, hit the gym, lawyer up.

On this episode we get the grinch (Harry) to tell us everything he hates about the holidays. We discuss our love of Christmas music, cookies, and sweaters. We'll also tell you what you should and shouldn't do at your work's holiday party. Very exciting stuff, folks. Towards the end Andy makes up a winter holiday.

So, this is an odd one for us. We have a guest on this episode talking about things he loves about his job. We end up going on a tangent and start talking about AI and machine learning... Also towards the end of the episode we almost have an epiphany and realize that we may actually *like* our jobs. We promise to never do this again.
