If you have ever worked in the corporate world for any amount of time, then you know that it has its own set of rules and regulations. It’s like living in Tolkien’s Middle Earth. Everything’s radically different there.

In the corporate world, political infighting is bloodier than in the current U.S. Congress. Power, ego, and control are the holy trinity of the corporate chalice. Psychopaths, sociopaths, and people afflicted with borderline personality disorder often hold seats of power and prestige.

Worse, employers furiously deny that they care more about profits, the stock price, and EBITDA than their own employees. Corporations are in love with the adage,”Employees are our greatest asset,” which they announce even during massive layoffs done to jumpstart the stock price.

Perhaps there is a code of silence because there are not the usual endless number of podcasts on this topic. I worked in Corporate for 37 years. Perhaps, we were sworn to secrecy like the Freemasons.

Even if there is a code of silence, that doesn’t seem to bother The Surfing Corporate Podcast. The show “tackles the themes and issues of corporate life with a humorous and relatable point of view.”
