Odd Job: The Corporate Bathroom Attendant

Microsoft Teams Is A Rat

New episodes now have a video version!! Microsoft just turned Teams into a snitch. This week Jeremy and Jimmy expose "Workplace Check-in," the new feature that tells your company exactly when you walk through the door — Wi-Fi and all. Then: portfolio careers, the modern survival strategy where one job isn't enough so now you have four. And a stat that'll ruin your day — 71% of workers are doing jobs they were never hired for, with zero raise to show for it. Buckle up. https://abovemypaygradepodcast.com/

Ai and Quiet Firing

8,000 Meta employees showed up to work and got replaced by something called the "Agent Transformation Accelerator XFN." And if that wasn't enough, your company doesn't even have to fire you anymore. They'll just make your life miserable until you quit. Jeremy and Jimmy break down the AI takeover, the Meta layoffs, and the sneaky corporate art of quiet firing. It's a great time to be employed. Allegedly.

Quittin' Ain't Easy

This week, Jeremy and Jimmy discuss the art of the workplace goodbye: the people you'll genuinely miss, the people you forgot before you even left, and the assholes your glad to never see or speak to again. Then we get into the Chirayu Rana story, the JPMorgan banker suing his female boss for allegedly making him a sex slave. The allegations are wild, the counter-allegations are wilder, and the chatbot transcripts are something else entirely. For more, visit www.abovemypaygradepodcast.com [www.abovemypaygradepodcast.com]

Work Best Friends & Villains

This week, Jeremy and Jimmy break down the strange magic of work best friends — how two random coworkers suddenly become inseparable, why the bond is stronger than most real friendships, and how everything falls apart the moment one of you gets promoted or moved to a different team. Then the guys dive into the whole “work wife/work husband” thing… and yeah, it gets weird fast. We talk about why it’s creepy, why HR pretends it’s fine, and why it always feels one Slack message away from a scandal. Finally, we explore the office villains — the people who don’t just wake up one day and decide to be assholes. They have a villain origin story, and we act out a few of them with full dramatic flair and villain music. It’s workplace psychology, petty observations, and corporate chaos all rolled into one episode https://abovemypaygradepodcast.com/ [https://abovemypaygradepodcast.com/]

Happy Friday, Bitches! Take your lunch break. (corporate humor)

Jeremy & Jimmy kick off their brand‑new Friday Lunchbreak edition of the Above My Paygrade Podcast — releasing every Friday at noon to help you mentally clock out early. They start the show with a shout‑out to all the Friday Zombies out there: the people who are physically present at work but spiritually gone, staring at their screens like they’re waiting for a loading bar that never moves. Then they break down the two types of Friday employees: 1) The “I give zero fucks” crew who make it painfully obvious they’re not doing a single ounce of work today. 2) The “I swear I’m busy” performers who suddenly enter Friday Clean‑Up Mode, aggressively organizing their desk, wiping down monitors, and straightening pens because it’s easier than touching one more TPS report. The guys close out the episode with Corporate Ways to Say Rude Things: translating real emotions into HR‑approved language. It’s petty, it’s accurate, and it’s painfully relatable. Happy Friday, bitches. www.abovemypaygradepodcast.com [https://abovemypaygradepodcast.com/]
