Think your company has great culture because there's free snacks and a foosball table? Think again.

In this episode, Dr. Tina Flores pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest lies in corporate America: that perks equal culture. Spoiler alert... they don't.

If you've ever heard "we're like a family" and felt your stomach drop, or watched leadership preach work-life balance while sending emails at midnight, this episode is your reality check. Tina breaks down the difference between performative culture (what's on the careers page) and actual culture (what it's really like when no one's performing).

🔥 In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why "we're like a family" is actually a red flag, not a selling point
• The 5 culture red flags everyone ignores (but you shouldn't)
• What psychological safety actually means (and why it matters more than ping pong tables)
• How to spot toxic culture before you accept the offer
• Survival strategies if you're stuck in a broken culture right now
• When to try to fix it, when to protect yourself, and when to just leave
• How to build better culture in your sphere of influence

This episode is for you if:

You're exhausted from pretending your workplace culture is "fine" You've been told you're "not a culture fit" when you speak up You're trying to decide if you should stay and fight or cut your losses You're a leader who wants to actually build good culture, not just talk about it
