We dive headfirst into the absurdity of corporate life—from offsite travel disasters and return-to-office guilt trips to Slack etiquette, horrible bosses, and survival tips for not looking like a total idiot in front of your coworkers. Each episode blends satire, emotional truth, and listener-submitted chaos into segments like “Out of Office Email or Cry for Help?” and riffing on the inevitable Ai takeover. It’s catharsis for the cubicle crowd, therapy for the remote warriors, and a safe space to laugh at the madness we call work. 50% of our waking hours is spent working… that makes us cry a little.. New episodes every week. Bring your PTO requests and emotional baggage. https://abovemypaygradepodcast.com Corporate Lingo: Utilizing professional audio recording equipment, our team of hosts produces a podcast designed to entertain and engage listeners seeking humor.

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/

(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.

It’s one of those weeks where corporate life feels like a full‑contact sport. Jeremy and Jimmy kick things off talking about how chaotic last week was — the kind of chaos that makes you want to “call in dead” instead of calling in sick.

With a holiday this week, they break down the guaranteed wave of coworkers who will mysteriously “come down with something” on Wednesday… even though everyone heard them bragging about their plans all last week. Then they dive into the office legends who take a vacation and pretend to be sick at the end just to squeeze out one more day of PTO or a fake work‑from‑home day.

They also tackle the PTO doomsday preppers — the people who hoard vacation hours like they’re stocking a bunker, panic‑spend PTO at the end of the year, or treat rollover deadlines like the corporate Hunger Games.

It’s a full episode of workplace nonsense. For more, visit www.abovemypaygradepodcast.com

We dig into how companies pretend they’re reinventing themselves while quietly recycling the same broken processes, the same empty promises, and the same leaders insisting “this year will be different.” We talk through the annual corporate purge, where org charts get shaken like a snow globe and everyone pretends it’s “strategic.” We roast the lazy coworkers who suddenly act hyper‑productive because bonus season is approaching and they need to look alive. And of course, we unpack the fresh batch of Mandatory Trainings — including some strange questions and thoughts about the sexual harassment trainings.

If you’re already exhausted by Q1, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and slightly less alone in the corporate circus.
