Workplace comedy meets corporate horror—again. In Part 2, Under NDA serves up two more head shaking tales of control obsessed leadership and morale in free fall. Former tech exec turned Code TV (https://codetv.dev) creator Jason joins the mic to discuss workplace control run amok.
Stories in this episode:
- “Why I Left the Startup” – A product manager promised “zero red tape” arrives in a Notion jungle of templates, mandatory rewrites, and Slack policing, right down to bug ticket titles.
- “The Priorities Were the Problem” – An engineering manager celebrates a freshly agreed roadmap until execs change course 48 hours later (and again the next week, and the next…). ICs scramble, weekends vaporize, and Jason’s blood pressure hits new highs.
Along the way we unpack leadership FOMO, template tyranny, and why great managers know when to back off and let teams cook.
Make sure to also listen to Episode 3 – “Control Issues Everywhere” (Part 1).
