On this episode of the UnPodcast we talked about a company where 279 out of 280 workers quit
over the last year, a lesson that the social media manager of the Houston Rockets learned the hard
way, and what FHRITP means and why you should never say it.
We also discussed whether or not a company has the right to track their employees even in their off
time, as well as what makes something offensive.
