Super Punk Corporate Meltdown: E3.1 - Control
Explicit content warning
08/09/22 • 55 min
Episode Three point One kicks off our lengthy analysis of how the media is utilised or seemingly weaponised as an apparatus of control in public debates around workplaces. We cover ground on inaccuracies in reporting, how a company could use social media and traditional publishing media to “socialwash” or “Boris Bus”, and syndication and distribution methods that can tip the scales in matters of public debate defined by power dynamics and resources. We discuss the impacts this can have. Fanny & Kate discuss some of their experiences dealing with the media in the last year.

Super Punk Corporate Meltdown: E2 - Invade & Intimidate
Episode Two looks at the concept of abrasive leadership, exploring the implications for all stakeholders when an individual starts exhibiting traits of abrasive leadership. The forensic detailing of Quotegate continues, and we hear the lengths the community went to trying to clarify the issue. We hear about an example of corporate retaliation, not dissimilar to tactics employed by Harvey Weinstein or Tesla, who have notably used private investigators with former workers. We also hear what happens when diplomacy falls apart when confusion and mistrust set in.
