Listen to This is Uncomfortable on your favorite podcast app.

You strike me as the kind of person who loves to give advice or maybe has some hot takes.

Um, you've guessed correctly.

I'm definitely, I got the opinions, I got the hot takes, and, you know, I love to gossip, so...

Hey everyone, I'm Rima Grace and welcome to This is Uncomfortable.

We've been asking y'all for your questions about sticky situations at work to leave us voice messages on our hotline at 347-RING-TIU.

And this week we are answering some of them as part of a segment we like to call Work Drama.

We got some pretty wild questions about workplace tension, co-worker cliques, bosses behaving badly, and some bizarre office policies.

And joining me to help answer those questions is one of my favorite culture writers and podcasters, Sarah Hagee.

Sarah tells the stories of some notoriously bad bosses on Scamfluencers, which is a podcast about scams that she co-hosts with journalist Sachi Cole.

Hey, Sarah.

Hey, how are you?

I am good.

How are you doing?

I'm great.

Okay, so before we get into the questions, I'm really curious.

What are the common signs that your boss might be a scammer?

Okay, if your boss is the only one who's allowed to see certain information and is cagey about sharing information that should be known by people, they're a scammer.

If they are...

Pushing boundaries and putting you in situations where you feel like you can't say no for either, you know, doing some type of work that feels weird or off.
