    30 Years of Career Advice in 1 Hour | Deb Liu (CEO @Ancestry.com, VP of Product @Meta)

    okay I need you to understand that this episode genuinely changed me 🥹✨ Deb Liu is one of the most decorated women in tech. She spent 12 years at Facebook where she founded Facebook Marketplace, rose to VP, and then became CEO of Ancestry.com. She has 4 million+ views on her Substack, she's a board member of Poshmark and Intuit. She is simply built different! In this episode we get into: → how Facebook Marketplace launched and immediately got a New York Times headline about drugs, guns, and baby hedgehogs 💀 → the invisible rules of power and influence that nobody tells you before you walk into a room → if work feels misaligned you might just need to be repotted 🪴 → how to hold high standards as a leader without traumatizing everyone around you → when to persist, pivot, or quit (and why quitting is actually the first chapter of her new book) → why ambition without joy becomes brittle this is the episode I have been wanting to make since I started Office Drama. Deb is one of those people who has an answer for every question because she has genuinely lived and reflected on such a variety of experiences in her life. This episode is true hopecore and Deb somehow makes you feel like everything is going to be okay 🥺 ➔ Deb's Substack: https://debliu.substack.com ➔ Deb on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahliu ➔ Deb on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debliu_ Submit your Coworker Confessions 👇 https://bit.ly/coworker-confessions if you enjoyed this episode please follow, rate 5 stars ⭐️ and drop a comment — it helps more people find the show and means everything to us 🥹 𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎 🌸 instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih OD instagram → https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.pod tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshih threads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shih linkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/ patreon → https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    We need to talk about the AI Brand trip situation... ft. Megan Lieu | Office Drama

    Creators got CANCELED for attending an AI brand trip...and we're finally addressing it. 🫣 Today, I have the privilege of hosting Megan Lieu (data science + tech creator) on Office Drama to uncover what really went down on that trip and what it was actually like as a creator "getting canceled". I've worked professionally in Trust & Safety. I'm passionate about tech ethics, creator industries, and how we all should work together. And I really hope we can actually have constructive conversations on this platform that may push cultural, product, and policy changes for the better. It's very daunting as a female creator to address a situation like this, so I hope we can show up with empathy, curiosity, and constructive dialogue together. 🫶 Thank you for always making me feel safe to speak up. In this ep, we talk about: → what actually happened on the brand trip → the video Megan posted and the moment she realized it was going sideways → how the press reaches out when they already know the angle they want → why this trip hit a nerve when other AI brand trips didn't → why the women creators took the brunt of the backlash → how brands and creators should actually give each other feedback → where tech creators sit between Silicon Valley's echo chamber and everyone else → Find Megan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meganlieu Submit your Coworker Confessions 👇 https://bit.ly/coworker-confessions If you like what you hear please follow, rate 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ⭐️ and leave a comment! 🫶 It's free~ 𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎 🌸 instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih OD instagram → https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.pod tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshih threads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shih linkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/ patreon → https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama ✹ business inquiries: business@colorsofchloe.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    You Should Quit Being a Creator | @Tafokints NASA, Esports, Content, Tech

    Thank You to Our Sponsors! ✹ Storyblocks: unlimited stock footage, music, and SFX for creators → https://storyblocks.com/officedrama We've heard time and time again about the burnt out tech employee who quits a stable job to chase the dream. This time we're exploring the reverse! Daniel "Tafo" Lee has lived more careers than I can count on two hands. JPL engineer, coach to Melee god Mang0, Yahoo Esports show host, CLG General Manager, the internet's Tetris teacher, Web3 economist, Andreessen Horowitz, and now, at 37, starting over in big tech. He's no stranger to the creator economy and his honest take on who should actually pursue it might save you five years of your life. In this ep, we talk about: → how he coached a Melee god while working full time at NASA JPL → the ultimatum from his wife that finally made him quit and move to Esports → why 90% of streamers won't make it, and why minimum wage might be the better option → betting on yourself at 37: relearning how to code from scratch in the AI era → and how becoming a dad made him reevaluate the value of his time This episode is for anyone who's ever been told to follow their passion and quietly wondered if that advice is a trap. Tafo is proof that the real flex isn't dying on one hill but maybe knowing when to walk away towards the next one. → Find Tafo: https://www.instagram.com/tafokints https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniellee912 https://x.com/tafokints Submit your Coworker Confessions 👇 https://bit.ly/coworker-confessions If you like what you hear please follow, rate 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ⭐️ and leave a comment! 🫶 It's free~ 𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎 🌸 instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/ OD instagram → https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.pod/ tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshih threads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shih linkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/ patreon → https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama ✹ business inquiries: business@colorsofchloe.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    We Went on MasterChef and Lost Our Minds | @igumdrop @AngelsKimi @AriaSaki | Office Drama EP8

    Nobody tells you that when you get cast on MasterChef, you get to choose three people to fly out as your friends and family. Jaime ( @igumdrop ) chose Aria ( @AriaSaki ) , Kimi ( @AngelsKimi ) and I, and we spent a week on set with NO phones, 7AM call times, and a front-row seat to watching her cook on the biggest stage of her life. In this ep, we talk about: → why Jaime almost went alone → the mandolin accident that didn't make it to air → what Gordon Ramsay is ACTUALLY like → the moment Aria destroyed a MasterChef contestant → what traditional TV gets right that creators don't → why chasing perfection as a creator isn't sustainable → the narratives that get rewritten about women in gaming and streaming → Find Jaime: https://www.youtube.com/@igumdrop https://www.twitch.tv/igumdrop https://www.instagram.com/igumdrop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@igumdrop → Find Aria: https://www.youtube.com/@AriaSaki https://www.twitch.tv/ariasaki https://www.instagram.com/ariasaki/ https://www.tiktok.com/@ariasaki → Find Kimi: https://www.youtube.com/@AngelsASMR https://www.youtube.com/@AngelsKimi https://www.twitch.tv/angelskimi/ https://www.instagram.com/angelskimi/ https://www.instagram.com/gentleflamestudio/ https://www.tiktok.com/@angelskimii A huge thank you to the MasterChef production team for letting us share these stories! #MasterChef #MasterChefGlobalGauntlet @MasterChefonFOX @FOXTV @FoodClubFOX Submit your Coworker Confessions 👇 https://bit.ly/coworker-confessions If you like what you hear please follow, rate 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ⭐️ and leave a comment! 🫶 It's free~ 𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎 🌸 instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/ OD instagram → https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.pod/ tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshih threads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shih linkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/ patreon → https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama ✹ business inquiries: business@colorsofchloe.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    The Truth About My MasterChef Debut | Jaime @iGumdrop (Home Chef, Streamer, 2M+ Creator)

    Over the past decade, Jaime (@iGumdrop) has built a 2M+ following, founded her own successful clothing brand, dropped out of college to pursue streaming, and now she's on the cast of Season 16 of MasterChef! In this week's episode of Office Drama, we get into the version of the story you don't see on TV. In this ep, we talk about: → why she almost said no to MasterChef → what it's like to be on the cast of MasterChef → the insane reality TV background check nobody warns you about → what Gordon Ramsay is ACTUALLY like in person → the roti canai controversy → the truth about agents, managers, and the people you work with as a creator → why "the interview never matters" and what she actually hires on → how she skipped the 5-year plan and went straight to a deathbed plan This episode is for anyone who's ever been underestimated, boxed into one version of themselves, or scared to take the leap because they might look like a fool. Jaime is one of the most earnest, chaotic, hilarious people I know, and watching her bet on herself, publicly, after ten years of quietly putting in the work is exactly the kind of story I started this show to tell. → Find Jaime: https://www.youtube.com/@igumdrop https://www.twitch.tv/igumdrop https://www.instagram.com/igumdrop/ https://www.tiktok.com/@igumdrop A huge thank you to the MasterChef production team for letting us share these stories! #MasterChef #MasterChefGlobalGauntlet @MasterChefonFOX @FOXTV @FoodClubFOX Submit your Coworker Confessions 👇 https://bit.ly/coworker-confessions Thank You to Our Sponsors! ✹ Storyblocks: unlimited stock footage, music, and SFX for creators → storyblocks.com/officedrama ✹ Quince: luxury-quality essentials without the markup → quince.com/officedrama If you like what you hear please follow, rate 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ⭐️ and leave a comment! 🫶 It's free~ 𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎 🌸 instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/ OD instagram → https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.pod/ tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshih threads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shih linkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/ patreon → https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama ✹ business inquiries: business@colorsofchloe.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Sophia is one of my best friends, the officiant of my wedding, and one of the most cracked marketers I know. She's led campaigns at Airbnb, Databricks, and ElevenLabs.

    I got laid off 2 years ago...Let's talk MONEY. 💸

    It's been ~2 years since I've been laid off from my dream job at @Discord, and the most COMMON question you've asked me is: "Have you matched or beaten your tech salary after becoming a creator?" I never liked this question because it's sincerely not apples to apples. I also dislike it when creators say "I made my corporate salary in 1 brand deal!!" Because there are SO many nuances, caveats, tradeoffs, and financial implications when choosing between both paths. But I finally break that down in today's episode of Office Drama. Today, we get UNFILTERED and talk about: → How I overcame feeling like a failure after getting laid off → How I felt comparing myself to friends in tech/corporate → Whether my creator salary matched or beat my tech salary 👀 → How pregnancy and family planning impacts everything → How I actually figured out how to pivot my career (with my Life PRD) I really don't think these conversations can fit into a 1 min short form video or a 10 min YouTube video, so I hope you enjoy this real, brutally honest breakdown of what it was like going from tech to content to media. p.s. please excuse the lighting changes in this one! 🫶 My Vision Board + Template 👇https://www.figma.com/community/file/1462690089129320366/2025-vision-board-by-chloe-shih-chloe-shih Submit your Coworker Confessions 👇https://bit.ly/coworker-confessions If you like what you hear please follow, rate 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ⭐️ and leave a comment! 🫶 It's free~ Special shoutout to Drama Llama Emily Huang for supporting Office Drama on Patreon! 🦙 𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎 🌸 instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/ OD instagram → https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.pod/ tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshih threads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shih linkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/ patreon → https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama ✹ business inquiries:business@colorsofchloe.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    I Quit My Dream Job to Take an "Adult Gap Year" ft. Julia Fei (Sr. Data Scientist at Notion)

    I've seen a pattern of senior ICs deciding to quit to bet on themselves, but we rarely get to see what it took to get there. Julia Fei, Sr. Data Scientist at Notion (and my dear creator friend), just made her decision to leave her dream job to pursue something she's always been curious about. But it was a calculated, deliberate decision that she spent years preparing for. In this week's episode of Office Drama, we reveal the inner drama of Julia's thought process and the conversations she's had navigating the transition. In this ep, we talk about: → why Julia quit Notion when she genuinely loved her team, her manager, and her job → how to know if you're actually growing or just getting comfortable → why "stability" is a scam → the double life of being a creator in tech → how to build a financial runway for the leap before you're ready to take it → and how to know when it's finally time to take a risk on yourself This episode is for anyone who has done everything right and still felt like they were playing it too safe. Julia is one of the most calculated, self-aware people I know and watching her finally bet on herself after years of preparation is exactly the kind of story I started this show to tell. → Find Julia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliafei/ https://www.youtube.com/@juliafei https://www.instagram.com/julia.fei/ https://www.tiktok.com/@julia.fei Submit your Coworker Confessions 👇 https://bit.ly/coworker-confessions If you like what you hear please follow, rate 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ⭐️ and leave a comment! 🫶 It's free~ Special shoutout to Drama Llama Emily Huang for supporting Office Drama on Patreon! 🦙𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎 🌸 instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/ OD instagram → https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.pod/ tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshih threads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shih linkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/ patreon→ https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=copyLink ✹ business inquiries:business@colorsofchloe.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    The “Anti-Hustle High Achiever” Mindset | Product Design Manager @Discord, Tobi Bisiriyu

    My old Discord work bestie just got promoted *twice* in one year and I needed to know how he did it without losing himself in the process. Tobi Bisiriyu is a Product Design Manager at Discord and he's one of those rare people who is genuinely great at his job, actually likes it, and still makes work the least interesting thing about him. He cosplays, he goes to anime conventions, he walks one hour every day without exception, and he has a philosophy about life that I think more people in tech need to hear. In this ep, we talk about: → Why looking competent is actually what's holding junior designers back → the "contract you write for yourself" and how to know if you're breaching it → why middle management is actually a "death" trap → say yes to the scary thing...before you talk yourself out of it. → being greedy "with integrity" and why it's good to want it all → and why getting a four in life matters more than getting one at work This episode is for anyone who is good at their job but wonders if there's a version of success that doesn't require you to give everything else up. Tobi is one of the most intentional people I've ever worked with and somehow he got even more thoughtful since we last worked together. → Find Tobi on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobibisiriyu Submit your Coworker Confessions 👇 https://bit.ly/coworker-confessions If you like what you hear please follow, rate 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ⭐️ and leave a comment! 🫶 It's free~ 𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎 🌸 instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/ OD instagram → https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.pod/ tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshih threads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shih linkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/ patreon → https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama ✹ business inquiries: business@colorsofchloe.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    I Asked My Manager Why I Got Laid Off... | Principal Product Manager @Roblox, Derek Yang

    It's been about 2 years and 3 mo since I was infamously laid off from my dream product manager job at Discord. And today, I finally sit with my old manager to talk about life after layoffs. Derek Yang is now a Principal Product Manager at Roblox, and before that he was at YouTube, Twitch, Yik Yak, Facebook, and Discord where he was also my last ever corporate manager. In this ep, we talk about: → What it actually means to "make it" in tech (spoiler: he still doesn't think he has) → the performance review that humbled him and forever changed → how he approaches his career → why working hard is not enough and what actually gets you recognized → what he gave up becoming a new dad → and why sustainability is his whole era right now This episode is for anyone who has ever put their whole heart into their work and still felt like it wasn't enough.

    Bonus Ep: Why Corporate Always Wins (And What To Do About It)

    hii jomies! this is our ill-fated "fail episode." last year eric and i spent literally five hours on a sunday trying to film an episode about work resentment and burnout and every single take just sucked. we tried THREE times and failed every single time. but we had some really good nuggets in there so we chopped it up and pulled out the best parts for you guys. it's kind of a hodgepodge of segments but honestly some of my fave convos came out of it! we talk about someone reaching out to me asking for advice on whistleblowing, dealing with power tripping managers, the weird guilt of going independent, and why we push ourselves so damn hard when we could actually just chill. this episode is proof that not every recording session is a banger and sometimes you just gotta take the L and move on. but also!! the conversations were still valuable and i didn't want them to just... rot. thank u for listening and for being part of this community, it means everything to us love,chlo & eric See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
