    Hey, our lovely BFF Community! Ever tried explaining a gap in your resume with "I was discovering my true self on a beach in Mombasa ..Bali...Goa..Bondi"? Me neither! 😅 We should though right? lol . In this enthralling episode, we explore the highs and lows of our relationships with work, as we peel back the layers of how we often fuse our identity with our job titles. Who are we outside our jobs? Are our jobs sucking the life out of us? Not forgetting the juicy bits about rewards systems – because who doesn't love a good gold star? We'll discuss how these systems shape our behavior at work, validating the good or not soo good work practices. As always, expect laughter, a few tears (mostly from that one time Miss Dimples was told she is not Talent lol!), and enough wisdom to set you off into the new week, as Smiles and Dimples share their personal stories! Grab your favorite office mug (the one you stole from the communal kitchen – no judgment 😂!), find a cozy spot away from the prying eyes of your boss, and let's unravel the mysteries of identity at work together! Because when life gives you lemons, turn them into a PowerPoint presentation and show your colleagues why lemons are the key to increased productivity! 📈 Yalla!!
