When we’re in college, we’re told that we need to take an unpaid (or very low paid) internship to gain experience and set us up for a good career.
After we’ve started our career, we’re told at times that we need to take one for the team and that we’ll get rewarded later.
If you run a business, we’re told that you need to give away free products or work to gain exposure.
Should you give away free work? Does it really benefit you to do so?
On this week’s episode of the 33 Tangents Podcast Jim and Jason talk about their experiences and lessons learned when it comes to doing work for free.

Hard, honest work in which you create value for your company & clients alike and grinding until burnout are not the same thing.
Why do people think that grinding as hard as you can for an indefinite amount of time is the only way to go?
Why is there this cognitive dissonance when people hear of alternative ways of working?
Why are people shamed for thinking that you can have fun and gain fulfillment in work without burning yourself out?
Why is burnout looked as a badge of honor?
On this week’s episode of the 33 Tangents Podcast, Jason and Jim talk about their experiences that have led them to search out a different way of working and their thoughts on why people think that being on the verge of burnout is the only way to work.

This episode was recorded while Adobe Summit 2021 was taking place with it being the second year that it was held virtually due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Is this the future of industry conferences? Will they return, but in a scaled-down (read: cheapened) form that’s half in-person and half virtual?
On this week’s episode of 33 Tangents, Jim and Jason talk about concerns they have with virtual industry events becoming the norm, how conferences are more than just keynotes & breakout sessions, as well as some fun stories from the past.

Two years ago in the episode “Is Unlimited Time Off Actually Unlimited?”, Jim, Hila, and Jason took a hard look at the concept of unlimited PTO to see if it’s something employees find valuable or just a gimmick. They left that conversation genuinely questioning the value of “unlimited” PTO.
In the time since, Jim and Jason have discussed the topic several time through multiple means, most recently on Twitter.
On this week’s episode of the 33 Tangents Podcast, Jim and Jason continue that conversation on Twitter giving their current perspective on unlimited PTO and discussing how it is tightly tied to employee autonomy.
