  1. Loyalty vs Market Value: When Staying Starts Costing You

    Loyalty vs Market Value: When Staying Starts Costing You

    Loyalty is one of the first values we’re taught at work. Stay patient. Stay committed. Stay long enough—and good things will come. But in today’s job market, an uncomfortable question needs to be asked: Does loyalty actually increase your market value—or slowly erode it? In this episode, we unpack the difference between internal trust and external relevance, and why feeling indispensable inside a company doesn’t always translate to value outside it. Drawing on real-world data, career patterns, and workplace psychology, we explore how long tenures can quietly cap salary growth, flatten learning curves, and create a dangerous illusion of security. This is not an argument for job-hopping. And it’s not anti-organization. It’s a conversation about: Why loyalty often rewards trust—but not portabilityHow skills age faster than titles when growth isn’t intentionalThe psychological traps that turn comfort into inertiaHow professionals can stay loyal without becoming invisible to the marketMost importantly, we share a practical framework for staying market-aware, time-boxing loyalty, and compounding skills—so your career remains valuable whether you stay or move. Because loyalty isn’t outdated. Blind loyalty is expensive. If this episode makes you slightly uncomfortable, it probably needed to.

    What Really Happens When HR Opens Your Resume

    You spend hours crafting your resume. Our guest is a seasoned HR professional with decades of hiring experience. HR spends seconds deciding its fate. In this episode, we sit down with an HR insider to unpack what actually happens in those first critical moments when your resume is opened — and why most candidates are rejected long before skills are even considered. We explore: Why resumes are often eyeballed for just 6–8 secondsHow formatting, sequence, and visual structure silently influence decisionsWhat HR looks for at the top, middle, and end of a resumeWhen photos help — and when they quietly hurtWhy free templates (like Naukri.com) often outperform “designer” resumesHow experience is scanned before it’s readThe uncomfortable truth about lying on resumesHow diversity hiring, aptitude tests, and pre-employment assessments really workAnd the bias few talk about openly — ageThis conversation isn’t about beating the system. It’s about understanding it. Because once you know how decisions are actually made, you stop guessing — and start designing resumes that survive the first glance Send a text Don’t miss this deep dive into the people who shape office politics—listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Podbean, or your favorite platform!

  3. Performance Reviews: Growth Tool or Corporate Game?

    Performance Reviews: Growth Tool or Corporate Game?

    Every employee dreads it. Every manager interprets it differently. And HR? They design the process. In this episode of Corporate Elements, Robbie and Johnny sit down with HR professional Dimple and a seasoned manager Jess to decode the machinery behind performance reviews — the systems that claim to measure growth, fairness, and merit, but often reveal much more about culture and power. Together, they explore: How performance reviews evolved from annual rituals to continuous feedback loopsWhy ratings and percentage hikes can feel arbitraryThe quiet influence of favoritism, burnout, and corporate politicsWhether transparency is possible—or just a corporate illusionThe episode doesn’t promise answers so much as it captures the tension: the whispered suspicions of favoritism, the sting of a downgraded rating after twelve months of verbal praise, and the shadow of PIPs—Performance Improvement Plans—that may signal support or a quiet exit strategy. If you’ve ever left a review meeting thinking, “Was that really about me or about the system?” — this one’s for you.
