Description: Corporate America has a language all its own—and most of us are exhausted by it. In this episode of the Nearly Normal Podcast, we unpack trending workplace terms like quiet quitting, quiet cracking, and burnout, while diving into the very real mental health toll of corporate culture. We explore chronic workplace stress, emotional exhaustion, productivity pressure, toxic positivity, and why so many professionals feel mentally drained yet stuck. Plus, we call out the corporate buzzwords and phrases that desperately need to be retired for the sake of employee well-being. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disengaged, or emotionally fried at work, this episode offers validation, humor, and practical mental wellness insight for surviving (or escaping) corporate life.
