Is your open plan office driving you to distraction with endless chatter and non-stop interruptions? This week on BIZ Inbox, Em Vernem and Sarah Davidson dive deep into the chaotic world of trying to get actual work done when you're surrounded by Sally's weekend dating disasters and the marketing team's passionate font feuds (we're secretly here for both, tbh).

Then we tackle that colleague who somehow thinks their name is written in flashing neon lights at the top of your to-do list – spoiler alert: it's not!

Plus, we reveal how to flip the script on redundancy in job interviews and turn your layoff story into your biggest power move. Welcome to BIZ Inbox, your go-to workplace advice podcast where awkward career questions get real-world solutions.
