Everyone has a story from work.
Speaker A:The meeting that went completely off the rails.
Speaker A:The boss who completely lost control the moment someone stood up, walked out and never came back.
Speaker A:And the thing that happened there, the thing you still can't explain to this day.
Speaker A:Work is where we spend a huge part of our lives.
Speaker A:In fact, the average person will spend something around 13 to 15 full years of their life at work.
Speaker A:13 to 15 full years, that is over a decade of coworkers, managers, customers, deadlines, pressure, challenges, and the moments that shape who we become.
Speaker A:And when you spend that much time somewhere, things happen.
Speaker A:Stories happen.
Speaker A:The kind of stories people tell years later.
Speaker A:The kind of stories people laugh about, whisper about, or still struggle to explain.
Speaker A:The kind of stories that make someone stop, shake their head and say, I can't believe I used to work there.
Speaker A:Hi, I'm Kelly Kennedy.
Speaker A:I'm an entrepreneur, a partner, a parent, and a multi award winning podcast host who, just like you, has had some shit happen at work.
Speaker A:The kind of stuff that sticks with you.
Speaker A:The kind of stories you don't always tell.
Speaker A:Stories that are strange, unforgettable, and sometimes just plain weird.
Speaker A:As someone who loves a great story, and as the host of the business development podcast, I have spent years listening to people share the journeys that shaped them.
Speaker A:The wins, the losses, the lessons, the moments that changed everything.
Speaker A:But somewhere along the way, I realized that there was another side of work that deserved its own microphone.
Speaker A:Not just the success stories, the wild stories, the scary stories, the paranormal stories, the funny stories, the inspiring stories, and everything in between.
Speaker A:Because work is not just where we earn a living.
Speaker A:It's where life happens.
Speaker A:It's where pressure builds, where relationships are formed, where trust is broken, where people are tested, where weird things happen, where unforgettable moments live long after the job is over.
Speaker A:And if you've worked long enough.
Speaker A:You know exactly what I mean.
Speaker A:That is why this show is built into two worlds.
Speaker A:Day shift.
Speaker A:The funny stories, the inspiring stories, the unbelievable moments that make you laugh, shake your head and remember the people who helped you get through it.
Speaker A:And night shift.
Speaker A:The darker stories, the unexplainable stories, the eerie moments, the.
Speaker A:The scary moments.
Speaker A:The stories that stay with you long after the lights go out.
Speaker A:Because every workplace has both the stories that bring people together and the stories that make people leave.
Speaker A:This podcast is for everybody who has ever clocked in for a shift and walked away with a story they never forgot.
Speaker A:The story about the customer, the story about the manager, the story about the co worker, the story about the night everything changed.
Speaker A:The story nobody believed.
Speaker A:The story everyone still talks about and maybe even the story you never told out loud before.
Speaker A:That is what this show is about.
Speaker A:This is I Used to Work There, a storytelling podcast about the moments that make work unforgettable.
Speaker A:Stories from offices, construction sites, restaurants, hospitals, warehouses, retail floors, startups, corporations, job sites, and every kind of workplace you can imagine from all over the world.
Speaker A:Because no matter where you work, one thing stays the same.
Speaker A:People bring their lives with them.
Speaker A:Their stress, their humor, their baggage, their ambition, their fear, their flaws.
Speaker A:And some sometimes that creates moments nobody could ever make up.
Speaker A:That's why this show exists.
Speaker A:To tell the stories that normally stay behind closed doors.
Speaker A:The ones people carry with them, the ones they tell years later, the ones that make them laugh, cringe, wonder, or shake their heads.
Speaker A:And if you have a story, we want to hear it.
Speaker A:If something happened at work that you still think about, if you live through something wild, something funny, something scary, something inspiring, something heartbreaking, or something you still can't explain to this day, this show is for you.
Speaker A:Whether it belongs on day shift or night shift, we want to hear it.
Speaker A:So welcome to I Used to Work There.
Speaker A:Our shift is just getting started.
