About this episode
This week's episode is all about ridiculous mandates passed down from on high. Have you ever had a direction or order from a boss that was just some dumb you felt dumber for doing it and following orders? This week we have two stories all about frustrated employees dealing with their ridiculous mandates from their bosses! In our first story Justin tells about the time his boss and owner of a new establishment had all the employees ask customers give a one-star Yelp review, and then fellow Straw Hut Podcaster, Rachel Michelle Fernandes, talks about her least favorite isms she has been required to do (or use) in past jobs!
