Author: Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations December 28, 2022 Duration: 35:30

Our co-workers can make or break how we feel and what we accomplish on the job. Friends, enemies, two-faced frenemies, even small talk can affect us in surprising ways. Jessica Methot, associate professor in the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations, untangles the complex web of workplace relationships.


Ever wonder how the hours you log at your job could be more meaningful, productive, or simply less frustrating? A Third of Your Life digs into that exact question, moving beyond simple tips to examine the deeper forces changing how we work. Coming from the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations, this podcast leverages serious research and frontline insights to unpack the complex realities of the modern workplace. Host Steve Flamisch guides conversations that tackle everything from the subtle impact of new technologies and shifting management trends to the heated debates over policy, equity, and worker rights. Each episode is built on the idea that understanding these dynamics is the first step toward improving them-for everyone, from entry-level employees to CEOs. Tuning in offers a clearer picture of why work is the way it is and what that might mean for your own career and well-being. It’s a thoughtful exploration of the one-third we all share, aiming to make that substantial slice of time better for us all.
