Today is the last Friday of the month and my regular listeners know that on the last Friday of the month, I host the happy hour on the podcast where I gather great friends with me to drink cheap drinks and talk about money topics. 

This is the first Happy Hour of what will be the final year of Martinis and Your Money and we’re talking about all things jobs, specifically managing through toxic work environments, getting paid what you deserve and expectations your company or manager may have of you. As always, it was a great conversation with my friends that I hope you enjoy.
