  • Episode 23 - Moral Combat
    Jun 4 2025
    In this episode of Need Not Apply, we enter full Moral Combat mode because when it comes to work, boundaries are optional and bad behavior is practically part of the dress code.From a boss who outs their employee under the guise of "support," to a manager covering up their office affair with the grace of a toddler, this week’s stories are less “professional development” and more “what not to do in every possible scenario.” We’re talking toxic mentors, HR chaos, and a coworker who quite literally throws themselves a funeral... and gets mad when people don’t attend.Somewhere between food safety, mouth-taping TikTok trends, and arguing whether hippos or lions would win in a fight, we manage to squeeze in a little workplace accountability and a lot of side-eye.Submit your best work stories to:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NeedNotApplyPod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for a chance to be featured in a future episode!Follow us on Instagram & TikTok @NEEDNOTAPPLYPOD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@neednotapplypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠News Stories:⁠Geologists Might Have Stumbled Upon the Largest Gold Mine in the WorldDoctors Deliver Verdict on TikTok's 'Mouth Taping' TrendOver 40 Percent Of Kids In A US Study Thought Bacon Was A PlantThe closer a volcano is to erupting, the greener the trees around it look from spaceThis week's tales:Story 1: AITA for exposing my boss's affair with my coworker at a company event?Story 2: AITAH for reporting my boss to HR before I quit?Story 3: AITAH for stabbing my ex boss in the back after they betrayed me?
