Bonus Episode: Welcome aboard! Your tent is upstairs.

There are bad onboarding experiences. And then there's whatever on earth this was.

In this bonus episode, Bri shares a story about a new employee who travelled internationally for a two-week onboarding programme, only to discover that his employer's accommodation arrangements were rather more adventurous than expected.

Let's just say there were tents involved. Inside the office.

Annabell is understandably horrified, Bri has questions about the bathroom situation, and both agree that there are limits to what anyone should be expected to tolerate in the name of employment.

It's a short, thoroughly ridiculous conversation about corporate culture, personal dignity, and the increasingly blurred line between commitment to your employer and surrendering your sanity.

Because when a job starts to resemble a survival challenge, perhaps it's time to reconsider the job.
