In this episode of the UnPodcast, we talk about some ethical issues: Are lady products magical? What is your image worth? What’s the right way to share videos – yours and others – online? All this, a made-up word, a listener question, and random moments of inappropriateness.

In today’s episode, we cover stories in the world of Human Resources: Scott’s One-Armed Chair adventure; Google discovers the secret ingredient to teamwork; what law says you have to answer emails or texts after hours; and two-team building approaches that are subtly different from each other (in that only one could actually kill you). All this plus a snarky made-up word of the week and a follow up to a listener question. Absolutely nothing else!
