[ETHNICALLY] SPEAKING

#37: Should women have to smile and be sociable to get promoted at work?

Episode Summary

How can introverts or tee-totalers be rewarded for their hard work when office culture is focused on social drinking?

Episode Notes

The ladies discuss whether companies place an unreasonable expectation on women to constantly appear smiley and sociable at work in order to become well-liked and get ahead, or if socialising with co-workers is simply a part of normal workplace culture. Guest starring Lauren Fernandes, Assistant Producer of Ethnically Speaking.
