Work Dope
Work Dope is all about the sticky messy side … the human side of work … mostly corporate work… Work Dope is for people who work in all levels within corporate, and wish that it didn't have to suck so much. It's for folks who really do want to have a meaningful experience at work, but run into regular frustration; frustration due to what often feels like absurd policy, absurd structure, absurd promotions, or absurd people. Work Dope seeks to provide tips and techniques for better navigation of work-life, but even better, Work Dope is a place for honest discussion (discovery, exploration) on sticky topics that sometimes get avoided. It's for topics that people at the top just don't see -- (ergo topics that never get addressed). Work Dope is a place to learn new ways to be creative, engaged, and interested with one's work, and with one's co-workers (even the ones we wish would disappear).
