Bonus Episode: The Boss B*tch Move

Years ago, while helping with recruitment for a very senior role, Bri watched one of the three finalists make a move she has never forgotten. After months of waiting and too little information, the candidate calmly told the company that its silence was disrespectful - and withdrew her application.

There was no tantrum and no scorched earth: just a beautifully polite boundary. Bri, then in her early twenties, decided that one day she would be important enough to write an email like that.

Now, several weeks after her own latest interview, the memory has resurfaced. In this bonus episode, Annabell and Bri ask what it takes to stop waiting, whether confidence reads differently in Switzerland and the US, and why walking away is much easier when another offer is already on the table.

Come for the aspirational boss-bitch energy; stay for the uncomfortable truth about who can afford to use it.
