  • 🔥 Episode 5: All Hands on (Hell)Deck 🔥
    2025/02/25

    🚨 Emergency in Hell! 🚨


    John’s day just went from bad to worse when the Hell Administration Office announces a surprise inspection. The stakes? If they fail, John and his demonic coworkers will be transferred to Corporate Hell – a fate worse than eternal fire. (Endless meetings about meetings? No, thank you!)


    With chaos unfolding, John learns the true meaning of “All hands on deck” – a phrase used when everyone must come together to solve a crisis. But can Hell’s incompetent staff actually prioritize the right tasks before the deadline strikes? Or will they end up doomed because of… the wrong font?


    💼 What you’ll learn in this episode:

    All hands on deck – When everyone must help in an emergency.

    Deadline – The final time something must be finished. (Or else…)

    Prioritize – Deciding what’s actually important (Hint: Not the coffee machine!).


    🔥 But just when John thinks the nightmare is over, one inspector leaves him with a chilling message:

    “You were tested. Someone is watching.”


    Who’s watching? And what kind of test was this? Tune in to find out! 🎙🔥

  • Mini-Episode: The Demon Productivity Workshop 🔥
    2025/02/07

    Mini-Episode: The Demon Productivity Workshop 🔥


    💼 Welcome to Hell’s most productive meeting – where nothing gets done, but everything sounds impressive.


    🚨 In this mini-episode, John is forced (read: dragged kicking and screaming) into a Demon Productivity Workshop. What’s on the agenda?

    ✅ Buzzwords instead of solutions.

    ✅ Pointless rebranding efforts (say hello to Super Hell™).

    ✅ And, of course, low-hanging fruit – because why fix real problems when you can just… pretend?


    🔥 Key takeaways (for those who actually want to be productive):

    Low-hanging fruit: The easiest but least effective solution.

    Quick win: A small change that looks good but doesn’t fix anything.

    Streamline: Making things seem more efficient while keeping the chaos intact.


    🎙️ If you’ve ever sat through a meeting where the only action item was “synergizing scalable pain-centric methodologies” – this episode is for you.
