It’s “Opening Day” on Office Baggage for what we’re lovingly calling “Season 2.” The lesson for our winter was the difficulty of podcasting when we aren’t at Kellogg every other Friday. And we’ll admit it, this episode was recorded in…..January. But next week’s episode is our “take 2” of the season opener, and we’re happy to be fully back in action!

It’s Halloween, and we’re tackling the dreaded “sexy (fill in the blank)” outfits donned by women everywhere on this holiday. Have we just gone too far when there’s a “sexy poop emoji” Halloween costume. Yes, that really exists. In addition, we tackle gender issues in the toy aisle and a couple of #badasssallies in the news this week.

Part 2 of 2: A hallmark of the Office Baggage podcast is the intersection of Marcy’s Millennial perspective and Rae’s Generation X perspective.

Throughout today’s podcast we ask the question, “What kind of game are you playing?” Is your corporation playing the diversity game well? Are you thinking about your career in the right ways? And seriously, Cam Newton, what kind of sexist game are you playing? We’re tackling career objectives today with way too many football analogies!
This week, the United States experienced an incredible tragedy in Las Vegas. On this week’s podcast, we start with discussing the difficulty in talking about this tragedy both online and in person. Then, Marcy and Rae chat about diversity panels that just aren’t diverse. Today’s episode is a short, more chatty version of our normal cast. Email us with your thoughts.
It was one hell of a week for Rae and Marcy. In the most basic of terms, life handed them both a basket full of lemons. So today, they’re unpacking how women everywhere deal with weeks being sick, having health scares, and still managing to keep our lives on track….sort of. Topping it off with a new segment – the “he-peat.”
It was a sad week at Kellogg recently. The incomparable Dean Sally Blount announced she will leave Kellogg in 2018. Rae and Marcy unpack her announcement and her impact at Kellogg, inspired by her quote, “This is what the person I want to become would do.” Office Baggage loves this quote and Sally so much, we made tshirts! Find them on our website and represent your own favorite #badasssally every day. Also in today’s episode, “Sorry, Not Sorry” and “Is this still a thing?”
Throughout this podcast, there’s a thread of equality for women, but today we’re tackling it head on and from an early age. The media has blown up recently with stories about educators requiring different dress codes for girls than for their boy counterparts in school, body shaming sixth graders, and much more. Is this kind of behavior the start of what leads to inequality in the workplace and things like the infamous “Google memo” this summer? We tackle it all here.
