The Wankernomics podcast is a deep dive into workplace bullsh*ttery.

Each week, co-hosts James Schloeffel and Charles Firth drill down, deep dive and unpack examples of corporate bullsh*ttery from the real world, deconstructing the way people use to bullshit their way to success (or failure).

Wankernomics answers the questions you always wanted to know but were too busy stuck on an all-hands company-wide Teams call to ask: What does it mean when someone talks about ‘operational cadence’ in a weekly all-hands staff meeting? What is the most horrific employee recognition scheme ever conceived? Why does it feel like waiting times for call centres are getting longer and longer?

The Financial Times has called Wankernomics the “workplace comedy phenomenon”. Since 2023, Wankernomics has run mock corporate workshops to sold out audiences across the globe. Mixing real-world stories with personal anecdotes from James and Charles’s 20+ years in the working world, the podcast is informative, funny and totally relatable.

Follow now so that you can find it in your podcast feed, every Wednesday morning.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Coming this September, The Wankernomics Podcast will drill down and deep dive into real-life stories about workplace bullshittery.

Employee recognition schemes that went wrong. Job ads that make no sense. Emails that drip with corporate wankery, and ridiculous workplace processes that are set up for no reason at all.  

You’ll hear how a multi-national organisation purposely added an extra 20 minutes to its on-hold message so people would hang up.

And the bizarre story of how one large company went to the effort of temporarily suspending one of its core organisational values while it conducted criminal activity.

There are stories about big companies like Facebook and Boeing. And stories from workplaces you’ve probably never heard of but will definitely relate to.

Along the way James & Charles will unpack it all in their trademark Wankernomics style, and share their own stories of working in the corporate world.

Get on board! Coming mid September, wherever you get your podcasts
