Season 07 Episode 03: Passionate or polemic?
Alan and Trajce poke the bear of workplace diplomacy with examples from politics. Alan share a story of a city mayor who referred to a new councillor as a ‘ranga.’ “What’s a ‘ranga’?” asks Trajce. Listen to this episode to find out!
Trajce shares more stories about politicians and their apologies to cover their gaffes. In turn, Sara challenges the boys to think about middle-ground and high-ground fatigue, when being politically correct is simply bland. “Passionate or polemic?” Trajce teases, after remarking on the power of words. “Words break your heart,” Alan shares, “we need legislation to mend the heartbreak.”
“It’s an affair of the heart,” laments Trajce, “before shooting your mouth off it’s like the saying, ‘Rethink your second drink, mate.’”
Sara and Alan debate the particulars of a workplace initiation prank on an apprentice whose superior allegedly made him ride in a utility vehicle toolbox, if media reports were correct!
