Season 5 is now in the books, and Mita and Nadeem picked the their favourites, and not so favourites from the last 50 episodes. Also on the docket is a sneak peak into a little thing we like to call Season 6. 

It's the end of an era! Or at least a season. For the finale of season 5, Nadeem wanted "...options for films that you have suggested that we haven't picked." Chat GPT understood the assignment and suggested Bob Fosse's autobiographical "All That Jazz" for the next movie review. Mita waxes poetic about Bravo. 

You've probably had one. Maybe you even have one right now. And if Glassdoor data is anything to go by, you're far from alone—mentions of "toxic boss" in workplace reviews have surged 6.7x since 2018.

Alexis and Tommy went to Mita's, but what happened?! We get answers on this episode of Second Date Update See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Quelle est la corrélation entre la Chémita et le Chabbath ? Possèdent-ils des enseignements existentiels en commun et quels sont-ils ?

For the penultimate episode, Mita was tired of Nadeem's sad sack ways and wanted "...options for films that will turn a frown upside down." Chat GPT got the hint and suggested "Paddington 2" for the next movie review. Mita  and Nadeem discuss "The Devil Wears Prada 2".

Nadeem was feeling a little emo and wanted "...options for films that make you feel sad." Chat GPT thought this was a little strange, but still suggested the 1988 anime, "Grave Of The Fireflies" for the next movie review. Mita talks "Summer House" and Nadeem has no idea what she's talking about. 

Dans son ouvrage, Juliette Mita crée un espace de rencontre entre rap et littérature et fait dialoguer rappeurs et auteurs pour montrer comment leurs univers se répondent et s'enrichissent mutuellement. Sur son compte Instagram Mots Croizés, la journaliste Juliette Mita, influenceuse-entremetteuse, forme des couples improbables en associant rappeurs et auteurs canoniques de la littérature : Shay et Sagan, Jul et Maupassant, Orelsan et Kafka, autant de duos délibérément iconoclastes qui suggèrent une certaine porosité entre les arts. À ceux qui ne jurent que par « Réda », trilogie de titres où le rappeur Lacrim déroule un sanglant récit de vengeance, elle conseille la lecture du Comte de Monte-Cristo. Trahison, incarcération, rétribution : les deux textes présentent en effet, dans les grandes lignes, des trames similaires. D'après Juliette Mita, cette démarche de comparaison vise davantage à sortir Dumas de la naphtaline qu'à légitimer Lacrim. Le rap est légitime selon ses propres codes, et c'est plutôt lui qui pourrait nous permettre d'appréhender des œuvres dont la langue a vieilli. Car le rap est bien « l'expression la plus évoluée de la littérature », dernier héritier d'une longue tradition d'écriture qui traverse aussi bien le roman du XIXè siècle que la chanson à texte de Léonard Cohen et Léo Ferré… La littérature est, à l'origine, orale, et le rap, slamé, scandé, déclamé, nous le rappelle l'autrice.  Un dialogue plus qu'une filiation Pour autant, les rappeurs ne sont pas les disciples des écrivains et n'ont aucun devoir de s'intéresser à la littérature. Juliette Mita ne parle ni d'inspiration ni d'intertextualité : nul besoin de prétendre que Dinos a lu Duras pour rapprocher Les pleurs du mal de La douleur. Invitée : Juliette Mita est journaliste et fondatrice de @MotsCroizés.  Son ouvrage Rap : littérature 2.0 est publié aux éditions Leduc.    Et comme chaque mercredi, Lucie Bouteloup s'amuse à décortiquer pour nous, les expressions de la langue française. Cette semaine c'est l'expression « Être fleur bleue » une expression poétique. Avec Benjamin Rouxel des éditions Le Robert.   Programmation musicale :  Les artistes : Zuukou Mayzie et Oxmo Puccino avec le titre Dune 2.

Mita wanted to see just how much the robots know about our hosts. So, she wanted "...options for films that would be good for @mitasampat and @omar.sidd.85 to watch." Chat GPT didn't have to go very far and suggested Sofia Coppola's seminal "Lost In Translation" for the next movie review. Nadeem and Mita have their doubts about "The Devil Wears Prada 2". 

For this week, Nadeem wanted "...options for films that have aged well." Chat GPT was pcking up what Nadeem was throwing down and suggested "The Truman Show" for the next movie review. Mita and Nadeem talk the holy trinity: Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney and Katy Perry. 

Mita was feeling nostalgic for her youth and wanted "...options for films that represent the origins of the manic pixie dream girl". Chat GPT reached way back and suggested the 1938 comedy, "Bringing Up Baby" for the next movie review. Mita and Nadeem talk about their favourite subject in the world: drama. 

What if the “panic habits” leaders default to are the very things burning out their best people? In this Partnering Leadership episode, Mita Mallick—author of The Devil Emails at Midnight—joins Mahan to unpack practical ways senior leaders can replace performative urgency with clear operating rules that people can trust. You will hear why bad bosses are made, not born, and how pressure from markets, role models, and personal crises can turn ordinary leaders into micromanagers.Mita gets specific about power dynamics. A 4:30 a.m. email from the CEO trains teams to jump, even when the intent is “no rush.” She explains how to set explicit after-hours rules and model them yourself. The goal is to stop the 4 a.m. back-and-forth and restore predictable rhythms for high-stakes work.Calendars signal culture. Mita argues for a deliberate meeting cleanse, real breaks, and protected one-on-ones. You will hear why “we are not AI agents,” why canceling a meeting can be the kindest move you make this week, and how simple touch points create loyalty.Leaders also get a playbook for honest feedback. Mita shares how to create safety, why alumni calls six to twelve months after someone leaves yield the most actionable insight, and how a short journaling habit helps you see patterns in your own behavior before they damage trust.Finally, Mita challenges a core assumption: most work is not life or death. Treating it that way creates burnout. She closes with a frank read on the broken employee–employer contract and a likely shift toward more consultant-style work, which makes clarity, expectations, and operating rules even more important for CEOs and boards.Actionable TakeawaysYou will learn how to set a clear after-hours rule that stops the 4 a.m. reply spiral, including what “urgent” actually means in your context.Hear how to replace micromanagement with outcomes and guardrails when life outside work feels out of control.You will learn why your calendar is your culture, and how a simple meeting cleanse reveals time for deep work and real one-on-ones.Hear how to protect one-on-ones without turning them into therapy. Mita shares a practical cadence and a simple check-in script that builds connection.You will learn a low-cost feedback system: invite coaching, thank in the moment, follow up with changes, and never hunt “who said what.”Hear how to get clearer truth with alumni calls six to twelve months after exit interviews, when the emotion is gone and facts are usable.You will learn to write simple hybrid rules that reduce proximity bias and make global teams feel fair and seen.Hear how to reset leader expectations about urgency and burnout, starting with this line: “Most of our work is not life or death.”You will learn why culture becomes the worst behavior you tolerate and how to intervene when disengagement starts to spiral.Hear how to prepare for a future with looser roles and project-based deployment, and why clarity and operating rules will be your retention edge. Connect with Mita MallickMita Mallick LinkedIn The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn from Bad Bosses  Connect with Mahan Tavakoli:Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

About this episode  Bad bosses aren't just a workplace problem—they're a leadership pattern that can spread, normalize, and quietly erode culture. In this episode of The Future of Work® Podcast, host Daniel Lamadrid talks with Mita Mallick, a bestselling author and seasoned marketing and HR executive, about her book The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn from Bad Bosses. Together, they explore why bad boss behavior happens, how marketplace pressure and personal “earthquakes” shape leadership, and why hustle culture can reward the very behaviors that burn teams out. The conversation gets practical: how to give feedback when psychological safety exists, how leaders can run a weekly self-awareness check, why gratitude builds trust and retention, and how boundaries protect top talent—especially as work evolves with AI, hybrid models, and rising uncertainty.

Mita shares her winding path from marketing executive to full-time writer and changemaker, and the lessons she's learned about leadership, inclusion, and the courage to leave what no longer fits. We talk about bad bosses, burnout, and the quiet ways our own habits can mirror the behavior we once resented. Mita reminds us that growth starts with awareness—and that leadership isn't about perfection, it's about presence. If you've ever felt stuck under poor leadership or wondered how to lead differently, this conversation will challenge you to look inward and act with intention.

Alright, Mita is back with us on the pod. We're talking bad bosses, bad employees, bad attitudes and how to break the cycle of feeling bad at work. Here's the rundown of what we're talking about today at WORK. * Work friction is rising because roles, priorities, and expectations are unclear.* Layoffs create survivor guilt and overwhelm for the people who stay.* Leaders often skip rewriting roles or resetting priorities after org changes.* Ambiguity grows when bosses avoid conflict or lack clear direction from above.* Weekly priority meetings and repeat back communication cut through confusion.* Managing up is essential. Employees must surface gaps and ask for clarity.* Weak or absentee bosses create space for employees to lead and accelerate.* One on ones matter. Bring value so they never get canceled.* Boundaries break when people step into others' jobs to avoid their own.* Remote work increases miscommunication without consistent rituals and tools.* Generational tension stems from different eras of job security and loyalty.* Cross generational teams work best when everyone teaches and learns from each other.To learn more about Mita - Get her book “The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn From Bad Bosses.” This is WORK Conversations.
