S7:E7 - When things go wrong at work (Jaime-Alexis Fowler)
When things get difficult at work, what do you? Who do you reach out to? Jaime-Alexis started a non-profit that connects you to professionals to help you handle workplace challenges.
You've got a new job at a new company in a new industry. It's been a few weeks, and things feel a bit off. Maybe you were excluded from a meeting, or your boss isn't being supportive, or maybe you're worried about keeping that new job. What do you do? Who do you call for help? Jaime-Alexis started a non-profit to solve this problem. She created a hotline where you can reach professionals to help you strategize how to tackle workplace challenges. She digs into some of common issues that folks run into, how the hotline works, and what the unique challenges are for those going into the tech industry.
