Quiet Hiring - Quiet Income

Tiffany Rufino — Tue, 07 Feb 2023 06:00:00 -0500

Today’s Podcast really challenges how things are moving forward in business.
-First we discuss how meeting for coffee and how business events feel like a new thing after Covid. For example, do we use digital cards to be eco-friendly, less costly and also to feel safe?
-Then we discuss Quiet Hiring; How moving someone in slowly and kicking someone out quickly can destroy the culture of an organization without proper communication.
-Finally, Quiet income. A female police officer was fired after it was discovered she had an OnlyFans page-but there’s a catch. Also, a Mother was banned from attending events at her child’s school because they discovered she had an OnlyFans account. Is it judgement? How did they know? Why can those in charge view it but try to hold others accountable for creating another stream of income? A lot to discuss…

We look forward to your feedback- don’t forget to like, subscribe and share!!! Create a great day!

I’m not Great, but You Are!

Tiffany Rufino — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 06:30:00 -0400

It happens often. We hear a friend speak negatively about themselves and we refuse to let them. Yet we speak to ourselves twice as rough, before noon!
Then at work, during performance reviews, we have to speak to our strengths-but not too much, because “There’s always room for improvement and you do not want to look like you know it all.”
How do you find the line with bragging and advocating for your success? If you don’t celebrate yourself, who will? Are self performance reviews intended to tell your leader all the things you’ve done because they aren’t aware? Why do them if you cannot be honest about your performance?

Leadership is a Joke

Tiffany Rufino — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 06:30:00 -0400

So many questions come up when we discuss leadership on this episode..
-Do we need the title of leader or manager? Is one better than the other?
-Do we need the role in every area, or can employees be empowered to take the lead?
-In setting expectations, how does wordings like “within reason” or “at your discretion”, create issues on the front line?
- Is creating hierarchy a false advertisement for growth and more of an opportunity to create distance between Execs and the front line?

*Bonus conversation
- Get rid of the traditional resume and do THIS instead!
- Why is tenure 2-3 years on average, instead of the rare 25+years it used to be?
- Does your company have provisions for how to deal with screaming customers and employee safety?

Dress to Impress or Impressed by Dress?

Tiffany Rufino — Tue, 27 Sep 2022 06:30:00 -0400

Do you need to dress for the job you want, the job you have or the money you make? Who decides? Does it impact your team positively - like they can strive to make more money? Does it impact your team negatively - like you are flaunting your title and money? How does it impact first impressions with customers? Intimidating or intriguing? We need you to weigh in!!

Quiet Firing

Tiffany Rufino — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 06:30:00 -0400

What is Quiet Firing? It could be:
- Bullying in the workplace
- No cause for termination, so a leader creates an environment that pushes the employee out
- Leadership fear of having open and honest communication with an employee
In this week's episode, we define and coin "Quiet Firing," provide scenarios, and then debate how to address it. Who is held accountable? What creates the motivation behind quiet firing? When is it okay?

Shoutout to everyone who shared leadership tips on last week's episode on TikTok! Join the conversation on TikTok this week @ The_io_Shrink.
We are confident this will stir up some memories or experiences and, at the very least, awareness.

Mental Health and Work Performance

Tiffany Rufino — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 06:30:00 -0400

Quite a few listeners requested this topic….so much so that it cannot fit into one episode!

Situation: Mental Health Awareness and Accommodations are becoming more prominent in the workplace. Companies realize employees need more support, yet there is a shortage of therapists, a lack of training on emotional intelligence and mentorship for leaders, and the rest of a team who feels left in the dark and overworked.

Let’s start the conversation.

*It is important to note we are not Doctors. Mental Health Awareness is still a challenge in being recognized and difficult to diagnose, as it is not always an obvious behavior to address. We understand the topic is sensitive and we tread carefully as to keep the topic alive in the world and hopefully start providing solutions for conversation starters. We would love to hear from you and your experiences/suggestions/challenges as we continue this topic next week, to discuss another perspective.
