Summary

Corporate confessions: because therapy is expensive and podcasts are free. This week, the Hotline is open—and it’s as unhinged as ever. From choking out a sales rep at a company offsite to fish-related crimes in the office kitchen, we read the wildest workplace stories you sent in. We meet a lactose-intolerant oversharer, debate whether “Demoted” is really for the children, and swap tales of questionable vacation flexes. Plus, we weigh in on dog allergies at work, suspicious “Book an Appointment” profile buttons, and whether Lake Tahoe is genuinely relaxing or a little bit deadly.
