    Rum Runner and Restaurant Rampage

    A restaurant shift turns into a full-blown emergency when a new employee decides to use a steak knife on a police officer. In Episode 3 of Cocktails and Corporate Chaos, hosts Shannon and Haidee sit down with Arianne, a former restaurant general manager who needed more than one drink to share this unbelievable story from her early days running a restaurant.  The conversation dives into the pressure cooker of the restaurant industry, what it's like to manage a workplace crisis with almost no training, and what happens when corporate priorities seem to matter more than people. Plus, the trio trades hot takes on office gossip, cold calls, and the corporate buzzwords they'd happily ban. All stories are true, but names have been changed to protect the innocent, the guilty, and ourselves from corporate HR emails. Got a workplace story you want to share?

    Fresh Hops and Feral Engineers

    What happens when an engineering company hires off Craigslist, has zero HR, and no boundaries whatsoever? Absolute, unadulterated workplace feralness. In Episode 2 of Cocktails and Corporate Chaos, hosts Shannon and Haidee sit down with Shane the engineer to uncover the wild, unregulated underbelly of a small company where normal corporate behavior simply didn't exist. We're talking an open salary spreadsheet anyone could see, an official "whiner's list" for pay complaints, and reply-all email meltdowns that will make you cringe into another dimension. Forget polished LinkedIn corporate fluff. This is a raw, jaw-dropping look at workplace survival when there's no HR department to call. It's perfect for anyone who has worked at a smaller company, lived through a toxic workplace, or wondered what really happens when everyone knows what everyone else gets paid. Pour yourself a strong drink, hit play, and prepare to feel much better about your own job. All stories are true, but names have been changed to protect the innocent, the guilty, and ourselves from corporate HR emails. Got a workplace story you want to share?

    Prosecco and Panties

    A manager's worst nightmare: a first-time manager pulls her employee into a tiny conference room, and the employee admits she's high on cocaine. Right now. At work. And the story only gets stranger from there. Welcome to Episode 1 of Cocktails and Corporate Chaos! Hosts Shannon and Haidee kick off the podcast by pulling back the curtain on how they know each other, why they started the show, and what listeners can expect, all with a prosecco toast and a promise to tell the workplace stories people usually only share at happy hour. Then Haidee shares the story that defined her first management job: a hot mess employee who assaulted a coworker, a sprint to find HR, and a confession no manager training ever covered. Haidee and Shannon break down everything ridiculous, hilarious, and horrifying about it. This episode is perfect for anyone who has ever managed people, survived a toxic coworker or a bad workplace, or needed proof that corporate America is far less polished than it looks from the outside. If you like your work stories messy, honest, and darkly funny, hit play now. All stories are true, but names have been changed to protect the innocent, the guilty, and ourselves from corporate HR emails. Got a workplace story you want to share?
