Corporate Pistons
What do you get when you take two passionate, full of life, petrolheads and place them in corporate jobs, with real life responsibilities and challenges?
That is what this podcast tries to answer! Listen to Adi and Bogdan as they navigate the corporate world of acronyms no one understands, meeting minutes nobody reads, fancy job titles and (usually) broken coffee machines.
There’s gonna be swearing, there’s gonna be confusion and there’s gonna be random rants about cars.
Can the meaning of life be found in a meeting invite? Does anyone in the corporate world actually know what they do for a living? Is there a life outside the office?
Buckle up for a weekly journey of laughter as all these questions try to get solved. Professionally-ish.
