342. Latest A.I. releases, iced coffee wars and well-being bees. PLUS! Does it only takes seven seconds to make a first impression?
Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. This week, we dive into viral interview etiquette, ultra-fast AI tools for work triage, workplace beekeeping, the science of first impressions, and answer your burning workplace surgery questions. 🚀 Special Announcement: Cornerstone Launch Before we jump into the news, Al and Leanne share an exciting update about the launch of Cornerstone! Be sure to register your interest and join the waitlist via our Tally form: • Register for Cornerstone: https://tally.so/r/BzDXKY 🔥 Stories covered 1. The "Iced Coffee War of 2026": Gen Z interview etiquette or arbitrary rules? A viral TikTok from recruiter Caitlin Wehniainen sparks an international debate: is bringing an iced coffee to a job interview unprofessional, or does rejecting a candidate over a beverage highlight everything wrong with modern hiring? We break down the generational dynamics, power imbalances in hiring, and the psychological concept of "deflection of anxiety". • Source: CNBC (https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/25/iced-coffee-job-interview.html) • TikTok original: @caitlinrecruiter (https://www.tiktok.com/@caitlinrecruiter/video/7686166507759455501) 2. Meet Jev: The ultra-fast "System 1" AI classifier Unlike ChatGPT or Claude, Jev isn't a conversational chatbot or code generator. Co-created by a co-inventor of ChatGPT, Jev is an API-based tool designed specifically for fast, structured decision-making, triage, and noise reduction—handling inbox management, survey filtering, and real-time meeting prompts. • Learn more & nerd out: Book a call with Al! 3. Is beekeeping the new employee wellbeing trend? Forget webinars and gym memberships—employers are installing hives and sending staff to apiaries for "experiential depth" and connection to nature. We discuss whether hands-on wellbeing actually helps, or if it risks becoming another form of "forced fun" masking deeper workload issues. • Source: HR Magazine (https://www.hrmagazine.co.uk/content/news/is-beekeeping-the-latest-employee-wellbeing-trend) 🧠 Truth or Lie: Does it really take seven seconds to make a first impression? From Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink to leadership experts, the idea of the seven-second rule is widely accepted. We examine the psychological research on speed versus accuracy—revealing how facial judgements occur in as little as 34 milliseconds, but why true accuracy actually takes about 60 seconds. 💬 Workplace Surgery This week, we answer three listener questions: • Replacing a legendary manager: How to step into a GM role and establish authority when taking over from a leader who has been there for decades. • Mission vs. Manipulation: Where is the line between inspiring employees with purpose and using company mission to guilt them into overworking? • Targeting low engagement: When one team in a survey scores drastically lower than the rest, is the manager automatically to blame? 📬 Connect with Al & Leanne – LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/truthlieswork – Al Elliott: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thisisalelliott – Leanne Elliott: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meetleanne – Email: hello@truthliesandwork.com – Book a call: https://savvycal.com/meetleanne/chat Mental health support UK & ROI — Samaritans Call 116 123 or visit https://www.samaritans.org UK — Mind Call 0300 123 3393 or visit https://www.mind.org.uk US — Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Call or text 988 or visit https://988lifeline.org Australia — Lifeline Call 13 11 14 or visit https://www.lifeline.org.au Global helplines https://findahelpline.com 🎧 Truth, Lies & Work is part of the HubSpot Podcast Network, the audio destination for business professionals.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. In this episode, we are joined by employment solicitor advocate Roy Magara, founder of Magara Law, to uncover what every founder, manager, and HR leader needs to know about avoiding costly employment tribunals, building proper HR architecture, and handling workplace grievances before they blow up. 🔥 Topics covered in this episode Prevention over cure: Why an employee handbook sitting on SharePoint is useless if nobody actually follows it when something goes wrong. Contracts, policies and handbooks: Where founders should start when setting up their legal architecture as the team grows. The first hour of a problem: Roy’s three-step framework (Preserve, Assess, Plan) to protect the business and safeguard documentation when a grievance is raised. The drama of fabricated evidence: A wild real-life tribunal case where fake disciplinary minutes were exposed by a secret recording. In-house resolution vs. calling in the lawyers: When you can resolve issues internally and the exact moment you need to pick up the phone to an employment lawyer. Emerging employment risks: The rise of neurodiversity-related discrimination claims, upcoming legislative threshold changes, and AI interview tools gone wrong.

340. Meta's management u-turn, trolling A.I and The Great Compliance. PLUS! Does purpose make us work harder? With Bill Yost
Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. This week, guest host Bill Yost joins Al and Leanne to dive into Meta’s management U-turn, whether purpose truly makes employees work harder, and how to navigate the modern job market and workplace surveys. 🔥 Stories covered Meta asks employees to become managers again Meta spent the past year stripping out middle management and pushing flatter, leaner teams. Now, it's asking some Applied AI employees to step back into management roles. • Meta reassigned ~7,000 employees into its Applied AI division and is now asking former managers to opt back into management. • The move reflects a tension between pushing ultra-lean, AI-driven org structures and the reality that coordination, coaching, and leadership are still needed. • Is AI making managers obsolete, or does it make human judgment and leadership even more crucial? Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-asks-some-ai-employees-to-become-managers-again-2026-9 The Great Compliance: Workers back down in 2026 Recent survey data shows a shifting power dynamic between employers and workers. • Only 7% of employees say they would quit over a mandatory RTO policy, down from 51% in 2025. • 73% expect employers to expand surveillance tools to enforce accountability. • As control tightens and job market fears linger, what happens to long-term trust and engagement? Trolling AI interviewers Candidate Graham Zip went viral on TikTok after introducing himself as "Chick Bongo" during an automated AI job screen, proving human humor and creativity are alive and well. 🧠 Truth or Lie: Does purpose make us work harder? We put the popular claim that "purpose drives performance" to the test. • The For case: Meta-analyses show meaningful work drives positive attitudes, organizational citizenship behaviors (going the extra mile), and overall performance. • The Against case: Deep purpose can lead to the "dark side of meaningful work," where employers exploit worker commitment, leading to high burnout, compassion fatigue, and existential labor. • The Verdict: True — with a warning! Purpose boosts effort, but it cannot replace fair pay, security, and well-being safeguards. 💬 Workplace Surgery with Bill Yost • Are engagement surveys actually anonymous, and can honest feedback bite you? • Has getting a tech interview completely changed, and what works now? • Does posting consistently on LinkedIn still matter?

339. Is a personality test just your horoscope? With Nikita Mikhailov, co-author of Personality: A User's Guide
Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. Are personality tests like MBTI actually helping your organisation, or are they just workplace horoscopes with better branding? In this Thursday episode, chartered occupational psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott sit down with personality psychologist Nikita Mikhailov, co-author of Personality: A User's Guide, to uncover the truth about psychometrics at work. From the dark history of early personality testing to why popular tools like MBTI refuse to die, Nikita shares why most off-the-shelf assessments only measure your own self-narrative, and how to actually use behavioural insights to build better teams. Topics covered: The "Self-Awareness Cake" Why personality consists of multiple layers: what you like, what you do, how you react under stress, and who you aspire to be. The Dark History & Origins of Psychometrics How early testing was tied to eugenics, and how Myers-Briggs (MBTI) percolated through corporate America despite being 80+ years old. Utilitarian Validity Why "feral constructs" like MBTI and DISC remain popular even when academic evidence is thin—and the real value they bring to team dynamic conversations. Psychopathy & Context at Work Why a "psychopath" in your office might just be a nice person in a cutthroat, highly incentivized environment. Rethinking Personality in Hiring Why using off-the-shelf personality tests to hire salespeople can backfire, and why you should hire for the specific business problem instead. Three Rules for Personality at Work Embracing complementary strengths, leading with curiosity over assumptions, and understanding that real change takes time.

The team breaks down whether this is a clever management approach or a sneaky way to avoid accountability. 🧠 Truth or Lie: Are workplace friendships actually a good idea?

337. How to Hire with A.I. (Without Getting It Wrong) LIVE! With Kate Young and Ben Hawkes
A bad hire costs a small business close to £14,000. Yet when recruitment goes wrong, business owners rarely blame technology.

In this LIVE Thursday episode, hosts Al Elliott and Leanne Elliott sit down with assessment science experts Kate Young and Ben Hawkes, co-founders of The Hiring Science Studio. Together, they break down how small businesses can safely navigate AI in hiring, spot hidden algorithmic bias, and protect their bottom line.

335. How storytelling saved Jurassic Park's company, with Corey Rosen
How you deliver news to your team has a huge impact on how they react. Whether it's bad news and you want to allay fears, or good news and you want everyone to be excited - the very best way to do this is with a story. In this episode, professional storyteller and Moth host Corey Rosen explains why the way you deliver information matters more than the information itself, and how a single story once saved a company from the inside out. Corey should know: his career started at Industrial Light & Magic, where he accidentally erased Harrison Ford's ear from a Star Wars film, before he went on to work on Jurassic Park, the Star Wars prequels, and Jim Henson Productions. Corey shares the moment his old boss, legendary stop-motion animator Phil Tippett, called an all-hands meeting everyone assumed meant layoffs, and instead told a story that changed the entire mood of the room. Al and Leanne dig into why bullet points make people forget, why stories make people remember, and exactly when a leader should reach for a story instead of just giving the answer. Key Takeaways: How You Deliver News Matters: The same information can create fear or buy-in depending on whether it's delivered as data or as a story. Lead Change With the Why: Before rolling out something new, start with the story behind the decision, not the announcement itself, so people come with you instead of resisting. Know When to Skip the Story: If someone just wants a status update, give them the status update. Save story for moments that need real understanding or buy-in. Facts Fade, Stories Stick: Information delivered as a story activates more of the brain and is far more likely to be remembered and repeated.
