 CBQ - Courtney, have you ever been told you had a bad attitude at work?

 

In this episode, hosts Courtney and Juan discuss the importance of receiving unflattering but constructive feedback in the workplace. Courtney shares her experience as a 'toxic, miserable employee' and how being told she had a bad attitude by her manager led to positive changes in her career. The conversation evolves to include personal anecdotes, such as a childhood memory of a friend pointing out a booger in Juan's nose, highlighting the value of honest feedback from those who care. They emphasize that while such feedback is uncomfortable, it is ultimately beneficial and necessary for personal and professional growth. The episode concludes with advice for leaders on addressing toxic and burned-out employees proactively rather than waiting for issues to escalate.
