    MMEP 05: Nobody Cares About Your Job Title Anymore

    When Did Our Job Titles Become Our Personalities? Congratulations! You've just been promoted to Regional Director of Operational Excellence. More responsibility. More meetings. More stress. Same salary. But hey, at least your LinkedIn profile looks impressive. Somewhere along the way, we started confusing impressive job titles with actual success. We celebrate promotions without asking whether they make our lives better, turn brilliant specialists into miserable managers, and sometimes mistake authority for competence. In this episode of Maverick Moves, we're questioning the corporate obsession with titles, status and climbing the career ladder. We'll explore why the most valuable person in the room isn't always the most senior, why good leadership has nothing to do with having the longest email signature, and why a less impressive title might actually mean a better life. And here's the uncomfortable question: Are you chasing a career you genuinely want, or one that simply looks good to everyone else? Expect workplace stories you'll recognise, a healthy dose of sarcasm, and a few uncomfortable truths about ambition, leadership and what success really means. Because there's nothing wrong with climbing the corporate ladder. Just make sure you actually like what's waiting at the top. 🎙️ Maverick Moves — real conversations, uncomfortable questions, and a different way of looking at the world. Enjoyed this one?

    MM02: Bots Don't Anger Us, Bad Journeys Do! 😠🤖

    People say customers hate chatbots. But what if that is not really true? In this episode of Maverick Moves, Angelo Martinuzzi challenges one of the biggest assumptions in customer service and Conversational AI: that people hate bots simply because they are bots. The truth may be more uncomfortable. Customers do not hate automation.They hate feeling trapped. They hate repeating themselves.They hate generic answers.They hate fake empathy.They hate being blocked from a human when the system clearly cannot help.And they hate when a company uses automation as a wall instead of a bridge. Drawing from over 20 years in customer service and his current work in Conversational AI, Angelo breaks down why bad automation creates anger, how chatbot journeys often fail from the customer’s point of view, and why “containment” should never be confused with real resolution. This episode explores the psychology behind customer frustration, the danger of fake empathy, the difference between a helpful bot and a digital barrier, and why the best AI systems are not always the ones that answer everything — but the ones that know when to stop. Because the future of customer service will not be won by the companies that simply use more AI. It will be won by the companies that use AI with better judgment. If you work in customer service, AI, operations, leadership, training, quality, or simply want to understand why so many automated experiences feel broken, this episode is for you. Maverick Moves is about AI, work, customer experience, leadership and human behaviour — helping you make smarter moves while staying human in a fast-changing world.
