Episode notes

Sarah Jones: I was displeased and frankly embarrassed by our parental leave policy at the time. Each year had one week of paid parental leave for all new parents. And then if you were the birth parent, you could take seven additional weeks of short-term disability. So anyway, I was not pleased by that. I didn't think it was enough time. And I just thought, like, we need to change this.

Former co-hosts Sarah, Nicole, and Emily reunite with the Amys to discuss the insights and advice that most resonated with them from this season, from how they gained their team’s trust as a first-time manager to how they’re now thinking about retirement. They also talk about their related personal and professional experiences, and share how they’ve been doing since they left the show and HBR.

If you haven’t listened to Season 8 in full, this episode also serves as an overview so you can pick and choose what you want to go back and listen to. The episode ends with each of the hosts sharing what they want to see us covering in future seasons. If you have any ideas, please email us. We’d love to hear from you.
