TOPIC: Feeling Stuck in the Middle
This week, Dan and Merlin talk about a topic suggested by listener, @toddsandends: what happens when you're stuck enforcing rules you don't agree with?
Whether you're a security guard, an RA, a SysAdmin, a character on The Wire, or pretty much anybody else, sometimes there's just stuff you gotta do. Even when you think it's a terrible idea.
So, who's allowed to corrupt you, what's it worth, and how long is that going to be okay with you?
As ever, work is a lot of work.
