Workplace oversharing making you cringe? Your messy ex just applied to work at your company? And someone definitely overheard you venting about colleagues to your husband?

This week, we're tackling the most awkward workplace situations that have you lying awake at 3am wondering how to fix them. We decode the delicate art of telling a colleague they share way too much personal information, reveal what to do when your romantic history collides with your professional life, and share the exact words to use when your private conversation becomes very public.

What you'll discover:

• The Oversharer's Dilemma: How to address a colleague who won't stop talking about their period and sex life without becoming the office prude

• The Ex-Files: Real strategies for when your messy breakup threatens to invade your workplace (plus Em's brutal confession about sabotaging an ex's job application)

• The Overheard Conversation: Exactly what to say when someone catches you venting about work to your spouse

• The Boundary Setting Masterclass: Why reading the room is everything and how different workplaces have wildly different tolerance levels

• The Awkwardness Antidote: Why addressing uncomfortable situations head-on is always better than letting them fester

Welcome to BIZ Inbox, your go-to workplace advice podcast where awkward career questions get real-world solutions.
