Episode description

To work at mysterious corporation Lumen, Mark Scout has undergone a “severance” procedure: when he’s at work, he only remembers what happens work, and when he’s at home, he only remembers what happens at home. But when a former coworker shows up at his home, Mark starts to questions what exactly he’s doing during his 9-5. In other words, it’s the perfect scenario to examine: - The return to the office (1:45) - What it means to bring your “whole self” to work (6:33) - Psychological safety and vulnerability in the workplace (10:06) - Opting in and out of sharing at work (13:07) - Work-life balance and burnout (15:17) - Company purpose, meaning, and impact (19:03) - Leaving a legacy at work (22:54)
