• Major F%$@Up

  “Oops you made a mistake, that’s all … and making mistakes is never fun” was a jingle from a decades-old cartoon series.  Truer words were never sung.  Blunder … error … gaffe … mis-step … oversight … blooper … many terms share that singular, sinking feeling when you realize you messed up in a big way. We help listeners own up and make amends when things go awry at the office.  Jack shares the story of an impromptu acoustic performance that saved a concert waylaid by technical difficulties.Segments in this episode:Not Ticking all the Boxes in Vancouver – “We shipped a large order to an overseas customer and I just realized I sent the wrong stuff!”They’re all Johns in Indiana - “OMG … I told the wrong John Smith he’d been promoted and given a raise.”The Gist: “How to Apologize for a Mistake Professionally” by Genevieve Northup, MBA, SHRM-CP, HCI-SPTD as posted on Indeed.comWe want to hear about the drama, the dilemmas, and the conundrums that you face at work!

• Culture Woes

  Leading a high-profile initiative can be daunting … even more so when you’re coordinating team members scattered around the globe. We help listeners tasked with getting the job done while navigating different languages, cultures and work styles. In honor of July 4th, the Cubicle Crew reminisces about the magic of fireworks.Segments in this episode:We’re Not in Kansas Anymore - “Help! I’m about to lead a global initiative and this will be my first time traveling outside the U.S.”Here, There and Everywhere in New York- “I have real concerns about coordinating a virtual team … these people are based in 17 different countries!”This Week in Pyrotechnics: A bottle rocket is a small firework made of a cylindrical case filled with combustible material, attached to a guiding stick. The stick can be placed in a bottle or other vessel to help control the rocket's launch direction. Bottle rockets can be dangerous and are considered unguided missiles that can travel at speeds of almost 200 miles per hour.  These characteristics appeal to Jack and Tim; Chris … not so much.The Gist: “Top 10 Tips For Managing Multicultural Teams” by Mursal Hedayat (accessed via Chatterbox.com and originally published on Forbes.com)We want to hear about the drama, the dilemmas, and the conundrums that you face at work!

• Feeling Down

  As the saying goes, “Life unfolds at the office.” Feeling sad or down is a normal reaction to disappointing or difficult times. But when a low mood stretches from days to weeks it can be difficult to sleep, think or work. If you feel depressed, take the first step by talking to a mental health professional, your doctor, a friend or loved one. This week we hear from a listener reluctant to disclosure his struggles even as they impact his performance. Another listener expresses concern for a colleague whose cheerful disposition might be a façade.Segments in this episodeDown But Not Out In Madison - "I’m depressed and finding it hard to work, should I tell someone at my office or just wait for it to pass?”Faking Joy In Seattle - "My co-worker is pretending to be happy but I can tell it’s an act … what should I do?”The Gist: “Depression Attacks: 8 Steps To Cope With Sudden Depression And Anxiety” medically reviewed by Julie Dodson, MA as posted on BetterHelp.comWe want to hear about the drama, the dilemmas, and the conundrums that you face at work!
