Episode 2 brings us to the Marketing department, where a mystery Christmas hamper lands on Desk 14, belonging to the formidable Margaret - patron saint of “I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed.”
 

Cue panic, silence, and the kind of tension only a British office can generate over chutney, cheese wheels, and a questionable ribbon.

A tiny moment of misplaced gifting turns into a masterclass in pattern spotting, calm thinking, and stepping up when no one else will.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • A whole office freeze because Margaret simply asks a question
  • The Business Development junior’s walk of shame
  • The “Bold move” whisper that tells you everything about workplace politics
  • Why small acts of courage create huge ripples

Power Move: Make It Matter
Little Move: Deliver clarity when everyone else is dithering.

What You’ll Take Away:
Office drama is never about the hamper. It’s about ownership, expectations, and knowing when to act instead of stare.
