INBOX: How to Get Feedback From a Boss Who Never Gives It

Got a boss who's lovely but completely useless at giving feedback? Dreading every Monday morning and wondering how everyone else makes their nine-to-five look so Instagram-worthy? Or maybe you've been added to the office gossip Slack channel and don't know whether to stay in the drama or make your escape? This week, we're tackling three workplace situations that'll feel painfully familiar - from getting constructive feedback when your manager won't give it, to romanticising your work life when you've lost that loving feeling, plus navigating the ultimate office drama dilemma. What you'll learn: • Feedback-Free Boss Solutions: Why your manager thinks about you way less than you think, how to schedule monthly feedback meetings that actually work, and why seeking feedback from peers and other leaders is just as valuable • Work Life Romance Revival: How to tell the difference between normal work slumps and serious burnout, why those aesthetic work TikToks are total BS, and practical ways to fall back in love with your job when everything feels like a chore • Gossip Channel Escape Routes: The "toxic" advice vs. the legal-brain approach to leaving workplace drama chats, plus exact scripts for extracting yourself without burning bridges or looking like a snitch Welcome to BIZ Inbox, your go-to workplace advice podcast where awkward career questions get real-world solutions.
