Have you ever stared at a coworker of yours, thinking “how the hell have you not been fired yet?” Shimina and Paul discuss their experiences and strategies on how to handle employees who are holding back the growth of oneself and/or the organization. Sometimes these folks are fully aware of the “bad Koolaid” they are making, while others do not realize how much they are force feeding it down everyone’s throats. On the flip side, there are times you may feel seldom in your opinion on another’s poor performance. Your co-hosts discuss the caveats and multiple perspectives on this common issue in the workplace. No questions or games this week, we skip right to our bosses and bitches of the week. Topics include: Janet Jackson, Janelle Monae, Outside Lands, Aretha Franklin, Serena Williams, Anita Baker (tickets), OTRII (tickets).

Considering the recent trending news regarding people calling the police on black people, Paul and Shimina delve into a discussion on implicit bias. What are the causes behind snap judgements?

Paul has been intrigued by scientology, specifically through Leah Remini’s A&E show and the HBO documentary, “Going Clear.” It is said that people fall into scientology due to their desire to be a better person; however, scientology seems to take the concept of “self help” or self improvement to a detrimental level.

Shimina brings up the topic of “emotional tax”--the weight of obligation that black people, and other minority groups, carry in order to be successful in the workplace. This mindset and level of consciousness is not a choice, but rather a way of living that other folks do not have to worry about. This weight sometimes translates into poor mental, emotional, and physical health. Paul & Shimina dive deep and share their personal stories related to this research.

An impromptu stand-up meeting is an order! Have you seen “Hidden Figures” starring Teraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monae? If not, then you should. If you have, then watch it again! This fantastic, Golden Globe-winning, and Oscar-nominated film has been taking over social media by storm! Because this movie praises the achievements of 3 black women in a segregated workplace, Paul and Shimina had to take the time to analyze the prevalent themes in the film, and compare it to what we still experience in 2017 today.

A topic that’s been discussed many times, but ever-evolving based on current social trends and standards: Code switching is an act and phenomenon that manifests itself in the workplace, family interactions, and friend groups.

Paul and Shimina ring in the new year by launching into a discussion on goal-setting. In this episode, the HBIC duo talks about establishing and evaluating their goals in and out of the workplace. Paul and Shimina also share their process of reflection in creating their goals, and why it’s important for them to do so periodically. On a different note, the end of 2016 left a sour taste in our mouths for many reasons. As a result, we had a plethora of “Bitch Ass Bosses” to call out at the end of the episode.

Time for another stand-up meeting! When it comes to online conversations, it’s really easy for people to talk the talk, but not walk the walk. Paul & Shimina take a minute to discuss the pros and cons of using social media for meaningful (or unmeaningful) conversations, especially within a socially political context. More importantly, they give their two cents on how to best engage with an online audience.

Paul & Shimina share their views on human flaws. Flaws are the very things we focus on to improve ourselves, but can we get rid of all of them? Are all flaws bad?

Shimina has more to say on Cheeto Elect’s win. Paul has no time for basicness (aka mediocrity). We find that we constantly have to move through a work and social environment where mediocrity is not an option, in order to be successful and debunk stereotypes associated with our multiple identities. It’s unfortunate that we live in a world where people can still catapult their careers based on a mediocre repertoire. Follow us on Facebook (Head Boss in Charge) and Twitter (@HeadBossPod).

Paul and Shimina take an in-depth look at the pros and cons to putting ourselves first in an environment that constantly pressures us to challenge that priority.

Paul brings up the importance of voting and civic duty, and lightens the mood with a fun game. Shimina shares her observations and views on showing emotion in a professional work setting, as well as in some social situations. Have we reached a point in American culture when showing emotion is more acceptable? At the end of the day we’re only human, and in our opinion, we’re most successful when we show up as our true self.
